This is a time for fun! You dress up in a costume. You go trick or treating with friends. You get lots of candy and treats. It must be Halloween!
Hundreds of years ago, people believed evil spirits came out on Halloween night. They put out food for the spirits. They wanted to keep them outside. They lit bonfires to scare them away.
Children used to carve scary faces on turnips. They did this to scare away evil spirits. Now kids do this with pumpkins. They put candles in them. They are called jack-o-lanterns.
Today, kids wear costumes. They dress as ghosts and witches. Some are monsters and mummies. Some kids wear costumes that are not scary. They may be doctors or dancers.
Kids also go from house to house. They knock on the door and say, trick or treat! They may get candy, snacks, or gum. Lots of children eat too many sweets that night!
Some towns have parades. Young people march in their costumes. There are also parties. Kids play games. They tell scary stories. They have candy, cupcakes, and punch.
Many people decorate their homes. Witches sit on the steps. Ghosts hang from the trees. Some kids go on haunted hayrides. They ride in a wagon. It is fun to be scared!
Halloween is a night of fun for kids. Some say it is a kids holiday. Hope your Halloween is spooky good!
You and your friends will enjoy this scary fun party drink!
