But the name was finally shortened to Halloween. Jake: you've actually gotten it but there's still so much more about the holidays. Halloween falls on October 31 because the ancient Gaelic festival of Samhain, considered the earliest known root of Halloween, occurred on this day. It marked a pivotal time of year when seasons changed, but more importantly, observers also believed the boundary between this world and the next became especially thin at this time, enabling them to connect with the dead. This belief is shared by some other cultures; a similar idea is mentioned around the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which also typically occurs in October and involves saying prayers for the dead.

"One bag of chips is enough. And when have you ever cared if no one else likes donuts?" "It's our first Hallow Friends Eve," she explains. Halloween is more of a celebration of my dad's birthday and a big costume gathering for the family. It's limited to family members only.

I glance around the kitchen and smell chicken parmesan and baked ziti along with garlic bread. Okay, something is going on. Rosie giggles. “It’s this funny new thing called Summerween where you celebrate Halloween in summer,” She explains as if that’s the whole story when we both know it’s not. Is she stalling? “Look at the cake, it might make more sense.”

I’ll also provide you with entertaining games.” Stella explained, fixing back her son’s hair. “Oh oh. I want a vampire theme.” He jumped up and down her belly. Matt carried him in his arms and proceeded to bury his head into Ian’s belly. “Are you organizing a Halloween party? Choose something more fun. Something that attracts and seduces your girl friends.” He winked at him, earning a slap on his arm from a boiling Stella.

Everyone in the halls go into the adjoining hall, just as big as the one they just left but differently arranged. The lights are slightly dim but still bright enough to see one another and still make the neon designs shine quite brightly. Everyone's dressed as a movie character and the staff who will be waiting the party all chose to dress as a horror movie character. Pennywise. There are different characters in the room though, Harlequin, Peter Pan, John Wick, Dr Strange... So many that makes the room seem so colourful and lively.

The Town Hall was open for a gloomy party, no music, no lights, just scary illustration sounds, black lights, candles, Halloween food, and beverages from everyone who donated to the party. They played horror movies all night at the movie tent, other tents were built to be used for a haunted house maze. Psychic readings, spirit summoning, tarot card readings, all sorts of Halloween activities were held at the town hall compound. Charlene dressed as Wednesday Addams. Even with white powder on her face and expressionless face, she still looked beautiful. She used a braided black wig and a black dress, exactly like Wednesday, and said, "I'm dressed as myself ... a psychopath," and laughed.

Glyn with a face that made me think that he was expecting an answer from me. “Halloween!!!” came the entire class in a very low and very lackadaisical manner most likely from some areas who didn’t seem so happy with what was to follow afterwards. “That’s right!” “It’s going to be the festival of ‘All Hallows’ Eve’ and this year, you all are going to flip for what the authorities have planned out.” said Mr. Glyn following a jovial smile. “As usual, we are going to have the um…. the ‘The-Most-Wonderful-Costume’ contest and the Halloween ‘King and Witch’ contest and those other stuffs you kids do but this year, to spice things up a notch, we were able to pull some strings and got Ryan and The R

You can wear different costumes each year — isn’t that great?" Nita replied, daydreaming about the costume she had prepared. "And it’s strange that you still think Halloween is about devil worship." Grace simply shrugged. She was using the excuse of not wanting to attend the Halloween party to avoid confronting painful memories—specifically, the distressing image of her father with another woman on that Halloween night, memories that replayed in her mind like an old video.

From a distance, a shadow watched him closely. "Thank you, everyone, for coming tonight…" Sol spoke to them all. "Halloween might be an ancient, pagan celebration, but the reason we celebrate it is a different one… We celebrate uniqueness. Here, together, we celebrate that we are different and that we are free. We celebrate that this is a new world and that we are part of it…" She smiled as everyone else did to her words. "We are free to enjoy ourselves… so let's do it, without worrying on beliefs or symbolism… let's enjoy our free will and our choice to have fun!" She finished and everyone cheered.

"Unless, of course, one of you guys was planning on dating him?" Her friends immediately relaxed. "Nah, I'm good," Lucy grinned. "I haven't found Mr. Right yet, but I have high hopes for next Halloween." "Halloween?" Charlotte snorted at their gothic friend. "Don't you mean valentines day?"
