Halloween is Coming!





Hey people! So I thought I'd write a little bit about Halloween. I know it's in a few weeks, but to me all of October is Halloween Month. Halloween in America is a very big holiday, especially for children. On Halloween, children dress up in costumes. Typical costumes are witches, ghosts, angels, and sooo many different things. When I was little I dressed as an octopus one halloween, an angel, a witch, and also I was the Beast from Disney's Beauty and the Beast one Halloween (yes, a girl as a guy character). Alot of adults dress up too, but they usually go to Halloween parties. Children go Trick-or-Treating. They go around to people's homes, knock on the door, and then say "Trick or Treat". The people in the house then give the children candy, which they put in a bag or bucket. I went trick or treating until I was about 12. I love now to give candy to the children. It's so much fun to see the cute children.

Halloween also has certain items that associated with it. An example: A Jack-O-Lantern is a pumpkin that someone has carved with a face or picture. I am putting up a picture of a jack-o-lantern. Alot of people also like to visit haunted houses. A haunted house is usually a home or place that someone has put scary items in or people in masks jump out and try and scare you. I get scared really easily, so I don't like haunted houses. Usually, when people in America think of Halloween they think of witches, black cats, and candy corn. Candy corn is this striped triangle candy that doesn't taste like corn. Actually, I really hate candy corn. But it's Halloween thing. There is so much I can say about Halloween! (Black and Orange are Halloween colors)

I have a feeling that Trick or Treating might be our American thing. I'm excited because, even though I live in the dorms, children are going to come around. So I still get to give them candy. :)
