Trick or Treat........ Now only 24 days away!!!

Originally named as “All-Hallows-Eve”, Halloween started around 2000 years ago in the area which is now Ireland. Celts (people from ancient Roman times) celebrate this day because it’s the end of summer with the dark cold winter soon to come. Celts believed that on the night before November 1 ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

Trick or treat is a customary practice for children on Halloween in many countries. Parents and Children go to great measures to bring the spirit of Halloween into their homes by decorating their houses with cotton spider webs, devil sticks, skeletons costumes, helping to make their house appear hunted, others just have a pumpkin basket filled with sweet candy treats.
