Halloween

It's a celebration that comes from England. Its origin come from a Celt's celebration in which they celebrated the end of the summer.

It's celebrated on 31st October and the most important in this party is that people dress up like monsters, witches, ghosts...

Another typical point is that people decorates pumpkins and puts a lantern into it.

All of these traditions are made because Celts thought that dressing up could scare the spirits that come on 31st October.

children during that night go tio other houses to ask for sweets and candies. They knock at the door and tell people: trick or treat.

If they give them some sweets, children go to another house, but if they don't give them anything, children get their houses dirty.

Halloween is typical in some countries, but now is replacing "La Castanyada", that is our catalan tradition.
