Halloween

Halloween, celebrated on October 31st, is a holiday marked by costumes, trick-or-treating, and various spooky-themed festivities. It originated from ancient Celtic festivals like Samhain, which signaled the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, a time when it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred. Over time, Halloween evolved into a more secular celebration characterized by haunted houses, pumpkin carving, and parties. People often dress up in costumes ranging from ghoulish to humorous and enjoy activities like apple bobbing and watching horror movies.
