Halloween

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st, primarily in the United States and other parts of the world. It has origins in ancient Celtic festivals, particularly the festival of Samhain, where it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred. Traditionally, it involves activities such as trick-or-treating, costume parties, haunted houses, and telling scary stories. Common symbols associated with Halloween include jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts, witches, and bats. The holiday has evolved over time to emphasize fun and entertainment, particularly for children, while still retaining elements of spookiness and the supernatural.
