Halloween is Coming... Ready Or Not

Halloween is an annual holiday observed in the US on October 31, which is almost here. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints' Day, but is today largely a secular celebration.

Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, committing pranks, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films. I am afraid of horror movies and I never watch them.

Of course, all stores are Halloween decorated to sell pumpkins. In case you do not know, many buy pumpkins to make jack-o'-lanterns... a kind of cute ghostly laughing orange faces with candles flickering inside. I am afraid of them too. Just look at these balloons impersonating them... Scary stuff!
