Halloween is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
But the question is why do some of us celebrate Halloween and others don't? It was believe many centuries ago this celebration is the festival of the supernaturals. It seems the Americans keep the tradition going but not all Australians are into Halloween. It isn't we suffer Samhainophobia, it's just we might not be a believer of this culture. But some businesses will have interesting displays (mainly huge and hairy spiders) of Halloween theme this year. Like any other celebrations that aren't really compulsory, I feel its more a money making promotion for the retail industry.
Do you believe in Halloween? If you celebrate the occassion what you do? Besides being a school night we won't be joining in to attend to any public celebrations in any suburbs. I am not a believer in supernationals but if there is children come into our street for trick or treating, I will be polite and give them a sweet treat. Consider the kind of reputation to where I live with some badly misbehaved children, I don't want my property trashed with raw eggs thrown from our peaceful street.
