October 31 is Halloween. This festival celebrates the return of the souls of the dead who come back to visit places where they used to live. In America and Britain, people buy pumpkins. They decorate houses with pumpkins with candles put inside. In the evenings there are a lot of Halloween parties, or fancy dress parties. Children dress up as witches, ghosts, devils, cats, bats, or anything scary and go trick-or-treating. They go from house to house and ask „Trick or treat?“ People give them sweets and chocolate. If the children don`t get chocolate and sweets, they play a „trick“ – like squirting water in your face.

Do you know?

At Halloween, Americans buy $ 2 billion of sweets and chocolate for children.
