Halloween

    Last night, on October 31 it was celebrated Halloween, an ancient holiday originated with Celts 2,000 years ago in what is now Ireland, the UK, and parts of Northern France. This holiday has been expanded in several countries around the world, specially in United States. This country spends $6 million  every year on the night of Halloween. It is a holiday that consists on dressing with scary costumes and going from house to house to ask for candy or money with the phrase "Trick or treat!". People who refuse to give anything would sometimes find chalk drawings on their doors the next morning or find they were the victims of other pranks. This activity is more typical in children. Jack-o-lanters are famous too in this holiday, which are pumpkins with a face cut into one side. Moreover, that night people do very funny parties with costume contests, etc.  It is a unique holiday where everybody can be have a great time.
