...Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31st...
...The Halloween tradition originated with an ancient Celtic festival when people would light
bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghost...👻
...Over the years, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like carving jack-o-lanterns, donning
costumes and eating treats, which is what we call Trick or Treating...
...Oh, what a fun day for kids...🎃
