The origin of Halloween

On this day, no matter adults or children, they can do their best to make trouble without attracting strange eyes. Most families will put some pumpkins or scarecrows as tall as real people in the yard, and decorate the windows with small pumpkin lanterns or hang a skeleton; Some people also hang some cobwebs above the front door. Lively families or families with young people will hold masquerade parties or decorate their homes as haunted houses! Halloween is the third largest festival after Christmas and Thanksgiving.

When night falls, children can't wait to put on colorful clothes and strange masks. Some of them put on dark robes, rode magic brooms and pretended to be witches; Some are wrapped in white sheets and pretend to be ghosts; Some put on hats with skulls and flags and dress up as pirates; Many children also carry pumpkin lanterns made of pumpkins. In the moonlight, they came to the neighbor's door and threatened to shout "trick or treat". If someone doesn't give them candy or change, those naughty children sometimes draw handles on the doors or other people's cats. These little pranks often make adults laugh and cry. Of course, most people are very happy to entertain these naive and romantic little guests. So when night falls, children always go home with full stomachs and pockets.
