Halloween means "All Hallows Eve", the evening before All Saints. Halloween is a popular event in America , Great Britain and Ireland. Both adults and children alike celebrate All Saints Eve. The children dress up in funny clothes and masks .They go round the houses, ring the door- bells and say: "Trick or treat". People give them some candy, fruit, money, or they play a trick , like writing on windows with soap, ringing door-bell, spray shaving cream on cars, dumping garbage can.
People make faces out of large pumpkins and put candles inside: this is called Jack O'Lantern. They cut out ghosts and spectres and even skeletons and put them in their windows. Teenagers in middle school and high school have a Halloween party and dance. The party is in the evening in the school gymnasium. After the school party, everyone helps to clean up.
At home and at school children play games such as "dunking for apples", "apples
on a string", and others. Typical Halloween food is nuts, popcorn, pumpkin pie, liquorice, sweets and candied apples. The Halloween drink is apple cider.
