Halloween

This depends on where you're going.

(The short of a long story) Halloween has a very deep history. Many think Halloween is derived from Samhain (pronounced sow-in/en/un), the Celtic celebration of the end of summer and harvest; also believed to be the end of their calendar year (think of New Year's Eve today). Many stories/beliefs say Samhain was the day that the gates between the worlds of the living and the dead were open allowing the dead be among the living. The living would offer food, wine and gifts to help the dead in their journey (back?) across. Other stories/beliefs go into dressing up in crazy, often elaborate costumes to scare away the dead instead. Not sure exactly where the Trick or Treat comes from. Some stories are of Faeries disguising themselves as beggars, begging for food. By giving them food you got a Treat; by not giving, it was Trick. Other stories are the people doing strange things such as cross dressing from both sexes, moving live stock or structures to different places and of course playing tricks on each other.

The more popular ideal comes from early Euro-Christianity. By that point it was believed Samhain to be a mostly Pagan holiday; there's a lot of cross over between Celtic history and Paganism. The Christian church, being against Pagan belief, replaced the holiday. In 834 or 835 A.D., Pope Gregory IV moved All Saint's Day to November 1, which had originally been designated by Pope Boniface IV in 609 AD, to be on May 13th. While sanctioned by the Church, many of the common people still practiced the more Pagan/Celtic traditions like bonfires, parades, and costumes. All Saints Day was also known as All Hallows, or Hallowmas; thus Oct 31 became All Hallows Eve and later Halloween.

Mexico is Spanish speaking country that celebrate Halloween

One way to say Pumpkin in Navajo is naayízí. The Pumpkin you see on Halloween are usually called naayízí łich'íí'ígíí.

There are many good patterns for Jack O- Lantern patterns and here are some of them,

an original pattern is good such as a spiral or a smile face. But something a little more original is a cat or a zombie... Etc.

Halloween has not really taken off in Australia, and as such, Australians "should" not celebrate Halloween at all. It is largely an American cultural activity, and has no relevance to Australians at all.

A poll held on Australia's leading news site (news.com.au) at the end of October 2009 indicated that 85% of Australians think Halloween should be ditched as it is totally irrelevant, whilst 15% of Australians said they love it and wanted to keep it.

I would suggest buying or altering a black cloak that you do not mind ripping up a little. You can find patterns for a hood on the Internet. Tear up some black material and add it to the sleeves and tear up the bottom into shreds. Use black material to cover up your face and either make your own skeleton looking gloves or buy some of the Internet. Wear black boots under the cloak. If you want to make the ribcage you could make it out of paper mache and attach it to the cloak :)

There are a great many Halloween words that begin with the letter F. Examples include fang, fear, and of course Frankenstein.

No, you can't cancel Halloween. Get out and go beg people for candy already! ;)

I am not one to believe in ghosts but as the stories go the ghost of mrs.vanderbelt haunts the library, mr. Vanderbelt haunts the billiards room and a lady dress in black haunts the know drained pool. On top of this a headless orange cat has been reported inbetween the garden and the bass pond

Millions of people around the world, though there are still many nations that don't partake in Halloween.

All Hallows' Eve is the same as Halloween. It just has a different name. So All Hallow's Eve is on October 31.

To make a real black icing, take 2 cups of Wilton's ready-to-use buttercream, add 1/2 cup good quality cocoa (sift if it seems lumpy), 2 teaspoons of water, and 1 oz. Wilton black icing color.

You will achieve a true, deep rich black color which is so popular for wedding cakes today, such as details for stringwork or embroidery work. For example, the Black Tie Affair Cake is topped with black buttercream cornelli lace.

If you have added too much black color in the beginning and your buttercream seems to have somewhat of a bitter taste, I suggest adding either 2 tablespoons of cocoa or a flavoring such as cherry or orange, about 1 teaspoon, to 2 cups of icing.

October 31st in ALL towns including Allentown PA. Check the trick-r-treat rules by visiting their website.

Do something unexpected and fun! Maybe find a theme that all the guests can dress up for. You could have a retro, pirate, Star Wars, or celebrity theme. And what would make it really fun would be if you had a magician or a hypnotist there! I found a good website where you can browse and book these type of performers for private parties.

Halloween is capitalized because it's a proper noun. Happy is usually capitalized with it, as it often starts the greeting or sentence.
