On Friday night, I went to bond with my classmates for Halloween.
Standing at the gate of bond, there was a huge, terrifying ghost thatgreeted us as if we were in the devil's hell.
There are some students in there who pretend to be ghosts, but I'm not likethem. I'm a witch.
Inside the most fun is hungry you damn fool reborn, my classmates and Iplay, first with his left hand to touch her ears, with his right hand twist yournose, bent down, turn around three times in situ, the teacher put potato chipsin our nose, using your tongue to eat potato chips. My chips have landed, but myclassmates have it. She is very cow!
Halloween is coming to an end and I really want to stay there.

History
Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes thatwhile "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona,the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead calledParentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whoseoriginal spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derivedfrom Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) byDaniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween partyin Blarney, Ireland.The name 'Halloween' and many of its present-day traditionsderive from the Old English era.
The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents aScottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the nightbefore All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in OldEnglish (ealra hālgena m?ssed?g, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even isitself not attested until 1556.
11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints' Day
11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death
万圣节(All Saints' Day, All Hallow's Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日 的欧美大节日。
Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。
For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays andfestivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced“sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary publishedby the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:
“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christiantimes, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season,lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faerieswere imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year isreckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish GaelisDictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = endof summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations,there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was adeity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawnfor the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.
Halloween Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate everyyear. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the even
ing before All Saints' Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, itis a holiday for children mainly.
Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick largeorange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candleinside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! Theselights are called jack-o'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".
The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes everyHalloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then theycarry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house,they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candyin their bags.
Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloweenparties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghostas their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of beingyoung.
万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。
每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o'-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。
每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。
不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。
