Hello Everybody! Hope your Halloween was nice and scary! Did you see alot of GHOSTS and GOBLINS?¿?¿?
Originally a day for appeasing the restless dead, Halloween has become a carnival of spirits.

Historically, the Celts believed that on the last day of the year, the recently dead returned to visit the living. Those spirits who had been treated kindly in life and in death could be counted on for pleasant company, and it was common for families to set a spare place at the dinner table to accommodate their unseen guest. Offerings of food and treats kept the spirits happy. But woe to those whose abuses left sour feelings among the departed. These were haunted by ghastly apparitions, ominous noises, and unexplainable feelings that someone was waiting for them in the shadows.

Of course, the belief that spirits were present on Halloween made this a perfect opportunity for mischievous youngsters (of all ages) to play pranks on their family and friends. Giving treats to these youngsters appeased the spirits of both the living and the dead, thus averting any mischief to which they might be inclined. With the help of clever marketing, Halloween in America became a children's holiday and "Trick or treating" a ritual in which small children received pieces of candy for being "so cute!"
Urban myths of poisoned apples tried to put an end to all that fun, but today, the holiday is being reclaimed by children and also adults. In many cities, Halloween is observed in a carnival-like atmosphere in which adults reveal that side of themselves they would never dare reveal in daily life. Through the magic of Halloween, a lawyer can become a villain, a clerk can become a hero, a housewife can become a Mafia don, and a businesswoman (or man) can become a showgirl.Origin Of Halloween
