Pumpkin lanterns Pumpkin Lantern
Pumpkins are on salein shops and supermarkets from as early as the beginning of October.By the last week of October you can see pumpkin lanterns everyw here in shop windows and in people's houses.Although British people used to use potatoes and turnips, now they use pumpkins to make Jack-o-lanterns unique to the Halloween season.The name“Jack-o-lantern"comes from an Irish folktale about a man named St ingy Jack who, because of his bad nature, was doomed to roam the earth without a resting place and with only his lit lantern to light the way in the darkness.
Trick or treat trick or treat.
Children love this game! They dress up and then knock on the doors of people's houses in their neighbourhood asking for a ‘trick or treat’.The neighbour gives them chocolates, sweets or money as a ‘treat’.If there is no treat, the children play a trick on the neighbour, for example, they might throw soap at the window.It only happens once a year so even the stingiest adultsmightgive something to the kids as a treat!
