What is Halloween?

    Halloween is always identified with pumpkins, candles, or black-colored decorations. Halloween is celebrated yearly on the night of 31 October or the All Saints Day Eve in some European and American countries. Halloween originated from a Celtic festival, known as Samhain. The festival was celebrated at the end of the harvest season. The celebration marked the time to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. It was believed that October 31 is the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead. Gaelic people believe that the spirits of the deceased would come back and cause bad things, such as damage to crops. In the Christian culture, 1 November was celebrated to honor all saints. People made Samhain a celebration before they celebrated All Saints Day, and it became Halloween.

    People usually make bonfires on Halloween. It was believed that the fire would help them to send away the spirits of the deceased who wanted to do bad things. At the same time, people wear masks and costumes to mimic the evil spirits.

    On Halloween, children play trick-or-treat. It is a game in which children come to houses in the neighborhood asking for treats, such as bonbons or chocolates. If the home-owners do not give them any treats, they will play "tricks" on the home-owners. Traditionally, families will do Halloween shopping to purchase treats in preparation for trick-or-treat.

"... shopping to purchase treats ..." (Paragraph 3)
