for my family Halloween is not as big as Christmas is but it is big. when i was little we would carve pumpkins and my dad would let me pick out the pumkin to carve, i always picked the biggest most prettiest one i could find, and then i would help him clean it and hallow it out. i never liked the way the insides felt. and i would help him make the face and then my sister would make ( pick out ) the candle that we put inside and then we would place it in the yard. i loved Halloween i would get so excited ant i would dress up like two hours early and sit by the window waiting for my parents to come home from work. but now that i am older its not as big of a deal as before its more just there. like in the past years there was this like Halloween vibe and it felt like Halloween but this year it did not fell like Halloween it felt like any other day, i think it might be because i am too old, but i don’t care because i like getting candy for free.

yesterday was Halloween and what we do is trick-or-treat. what you have to do is dress up in a costume and go around the streets ring the doorbell and when a person answers say trick-or-treat and they give you candy. the night before Halloween is called as it is also known Mischief Night which is when you go out late at night and pull pranks on other people, the most common thing to do is tee-pee a tree/house with toilet paper or egg a house. i was a cowgirl for Halloween this year, it is a lot of fun dressing up and going around the blocks with your friend and just laughing and having fun. i love going out for Halloween because you get CANDY and i love candy. the part that i don’t like about Halloween is that it is also a scary holiday and people try to scary you, i don’t like being scared so that’s why i don’t like that part about Halloween.

Halloween was also know as: All Saints Day, All Souls Day, All Hallows Eve. back then it was to celebrate the dead and the after life. what people did in most countries was they would make a fire to scary the ghosts away and they would carve jack-o-lanterns to also scare the ghosts. this was also a time to honor the dead as well, in Mexico the celebrate it by having a picnic at their loved ones grave and dine with them, also in Mexico it is more of a happy holiday rather then a sad one. in Australia they celebrate Guy Fawkes Eve but in America it is know as as it is also known Mischief Night or Danger Night, but in Australia they do not pull pranks like we do they have more of a dance or party at their school or other places, this is not wildly done in Australia as it is in America.

that is what i know about Halloween.

what do you know?

Halloween is tomorrow and i have no idea what i am gonna be, can you believe that it is tomorrow for me it does not fell that way at all. well i might be a cowgirl or someone from the 70ds but i don’t know.
