What is Halloween?

• When we think of Halloween, we think of "Trick or
  treat", pumpkins, Jack o' lanterns, vampires and
  haunted houses. But do you know the origin of
  Halloween? Why does it fall on 31 October? What
  kind of festival is it? Why is it so creepy?
  Halloween dates back to a Celtic festival called
  Sam hain. November 1 is the new year of the
  Celts, who lived in Europe more than a thousand
  years ago. This is the day which marked the end
  of summer and harvest. The Celts believed that on
  the night of October 31, ghosts of the dead would
  return to earth. The Celts celebrated Samhain by
  dressing up in costumes with animal heads and
  having bonfires. Many Celts settled in Britain
  and Ireland, where the festival became popular.
  Those who moved to America took the tradition
  with them. Nowadays, most people celebrate
  Halloween but only for fun. They are not worried
  about ghosts. Kids in America will dress up as
  devils or angels and will go from house to house
  calling "Trick or treat", playing mischievous
  tricks and getting sweets. Americans spend more
  money on Halloween than Christmas! In 2005, more
  than HK45 billion was spent on Halloween. And
  HK15 billion of that was spent on candy
  alone!!!
• Kids in Britain also dress up at Halloween. They
  visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get
  sweets. Many go to Halloween parties and play
  games like "ducking for apples". You must pick up
  an apple in water but you can only use your
  mouth. Try it!
