Halloween is coming closer and people are preparing already. Having it's origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain, which is the celebration of the end of the harvest season. Halloween is celebrated on the 31 Oct. The term Halloween is derived fro All Hallows Evening. It was believed that the boundary between the dead and the alive ceased to exist and the dead troubled the alive by destruction of crops and spreading illness.

Halloween is celebrated by wearing halloween costumes which are usually vampires, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Kids go aout trick or treating on this day wearing halloween costumes. Jack-o'-lantern, a carved pumpkin is a symbol of Halloween in America. The term Jack-o'-Lantern comes from Stingy Jack who tricked the devil into climbing a tree and then went on to trap the devil into the tree trunk. The devil in turn condemned Stingy Jack to wandering the earth at night with a candle inside a hollow turnip.

Since the holiday came after the apple season, the Apple became a traditional holiday food. Candy apples are a common halloween treat.

Happy Halloween to one and all.
