I like this topic! Halloween was a very different experience for me than other holidays. Halloween, as I remember it was fun.
Halloween day, thousands of children are dressing up as monsters, ghosts and witches and going to their neighbours’ houses to ask for sweets or to play tricks on them if they refuse.Many houses have lanterns made from pumpkins in their windows. These lanterns have frightening faces cut into them. So I think it is fun.
Then, pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween, so we need to make lanterns from pumpkins. First, the inside of the pumpkin is removed. Then, a face is cut into the pumpkin, traditionally a smiling, devil face. Finally a candle is placed inside, and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away.
Witches flying on broomsticks with black cats, ghosts, goblins and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. They are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors.
I'm glad you liked Halloween. I think Jack o Lanterns (the pumpkin lanters) are one of my favorite parts of the holiday. I like having pumpkin-carving parties.
