HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL

How's is going for everyone, hope y'all doing good and your organs are healthy.

So today is the last day of October— Today is Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

Well, in my country, Halloween isn't celebrated but I'd love to see people doing different scary cosplays at night.
The thrill of seeing people pull off incredible creepy, creative and terrifying dresses would be an unique experience.

So,

Did you know about the Halloween history story told to kids ?

I've heard that Kids are often told that before pumpkins existed in America, people in Ireland carved scary faces in hard turnips to scare away a mythical trickster named Stingy Jack

Also, Children are told that long ago, people were unable to leave there home in fear of ghosts so they started wearing masks so that any wandering ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits and leave them alone.

That's what was told to kids usually.

But do you know the real history ?

It matches with the kids one a bit

Halloween began 2000+ years ago as a serious festival during the winter. This was called 'Samhain' . The ancient Celts believed that on the night of 31st Oct, the line between the dead and the living would disappears. Meaning that real ghosts could come on the earth. Because everyone was scared of being hurt or haunted by ghosts, they always stayed inside or wore some masks made from animal skins. But poor people needed to go from house to house in the cold, they like offered prayers for the dead family members of other houses and in return they got small bits of food known as 'soul cakes'

Im 1800s, when Irish and Scottish families moved to America, they took this tradition with them. They found that pumpkins ( which was native to America) were much larger and easier to cut than the hard turnips they used to use back home there.
Then eventually, people didn't felt the fear of ghosts. The traditional ways of surviving became an enjoyable celebration of dressing up, trick or treating and eating candies.

And that's enough History lecture.

Here's few questions for yall:

• Are you guys celebrating the event?
• Are you guys cosplaying? If yes then as what?
• What is the best candy ever made, and what is the absolute worst trash candy that should be banned from existence ?
• Which evil entity do you prefer ? (lol)
