Halloween Celebration

Halloween is a traditional festival celebrated in many countries, with a focus on children going trick-or-treating. It is associated with horror imagery, costumes, and symbols like pumpkins, skeletons, and ghosts. Children dress up in costumes, go door-to-door asking for candy, and play mild tricks on those who don't give treats. Halloween has roots in ancient Celtic beliefs and is thought to be a time when the boundary between the spirit world and our world is thinnest. Bonfires and rituals were performed to ward off harmful spirits. Over time, Halloween has become commercialized, especially in America, with stores filled with costumes and decorations.
