Halloween

The pagans who lived in Britain 2000(two thousand) years ago celebrated their New Year on 1 November.

Something people did, to make the bad spirits go away, was to dress like ghost.

Children still do this if they go to Halloween parties. People often put up decorations for Halloween parties, and play games. One Halloween party game is called “bobbing for apples”.

In Canada and USA, and sometimes in Britain, children go ‘trick or treating’ they dress like ghosts, and go to the houses around where they live, often on a small group. When someone answer the door, the children say: trick or treat? This means that the person in the house must decide. Either they give the children a treat (like fruit or chocolate) or the children will play a trick on them.
