The Spooky Day.... Halloween almost here!


Halloween is almost here!Halloween is also called as the All Saints Day by the Christians. It was first celebrated on 1st of November and later it came to be celebrated on 31st October.The history of Halloween dates 2000 years back and originated from a European group called Celts.They believed that the dated roamed together on this particular night! It is an "Evening of the Dead."

Halloween is celebrated in high spirits here in the US. I see houses decorated with all kinds of spooky stuff, pumpkins beautifully carved and people enjoying and partying in Halloween costumes! Kids on this day go to every house in the neighbourhood for Tricks and Treats.

I was going out to shop for my kid and all the shops were stocked up with costumes, and beautifully adorned with skeletons,and scary stuff! Wowie! Some were really scary! Halloween fever is up here!

I still have no clue as to why people celebrate the "Dead" here. There has to be some strong point to prove this, which I am unable to understand.... If any of you think, you could tell me something about the whole thing, that would be really nice... Thanks!

Meera WISHES Everyone a Happy Halloween much in advance!..... Stay tuned!
