Halloween? Seriously? Well I guess so, if you're American, because it looks like a very serious thing in America. At least from what I've seen in horror movies, where it's absolutely worshipped. Halloween is barely a celebration, if not at all, here in Britain.
Anyways, my favourite time for sweets and chocolate, Christmas or Easter.
The holiday that Halloween came from was celebrated in Britain by the Celts and Druids quite some time ago. It's the Eve of Novermber a time to honor ancestors, when the veil between this World and the Otherworld is the thinnest. Makes it easy for our ancestors as well as our dead enemies to cross over into our World. They didn't start carving ugly faces in pumkins until they came to America before that it was turnips to scare their dead enemies who came back for them. What is Halloween to us was/is known as Samhain (Irish Gaelic) to the Celts and Druids and is still celebrated today.
