Halloween 2007

"What is Halloween?", I asked Rina. "its time for kids to go Trick or Treat and get candies & chocolates!" was the answer.
Heh heh! Well, the term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day", which is now also known as All Saints' Day. Some modern Halloween traditions developed out of older pagan traditions, especially surrounding the Irish holiday Samhain, a day associated both with the harvest and otherworldly spirits. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century.
"Trick or Treating" .. kids go round disguising themselves in costumes and go door-to-door in their neighborhoods, ringing each doorbell and yelling "trick or treat!" to solicit a gift of candy or similar items. You either give treats or get tricks/pranks played on you/your house.
