History of Halloween, do you know?
In that night, many people wear horrible or strange dress to attend party and trick or treat other people, many people love such kind of holiday.
What do you wear at that night, have you also attend the party to have a joy?

Halloween however was never really celebrated at all. there was nothing in the local shops to buy and there were certainly no parties. not where I grew up anyway. That started to change in the early 80's with a lot of halloween stuff being shown in American films, trick or treating and pumpkins etc (I had never heard of trick or treat till about 1983) and it started to take off here as well. now it has just become one more money making exercise with not many people realising why halloween is celebrated at all.
