**Halloween**
Halloween is a special holiday celebrated on October 31st. On this day, people wear
costumes and have fun. Children dress up as witches, ghosts, superheroes, and other
characters. They go from house to house and say, "Trick or treat!" People give them candy
or small toys.
Many houses are decorated with spooky things like pumpkins, spiders, and bats. People
carve faces into pumpkins and put candles inside. These are called jack-o'-lanterns. Some
people also hang fake spider webs and put up scary decorations.
At Halloween parties, people play games and tell scary stories. They also eat special treats
like candy apples and pumpkin pie. Some people watch scary movies or visit haunted
houses. It is a time to be a little scared, but in a fun way.
Halloween is also a time for creativity. People enjoy making their own costumes and
decorations. Some families make Halloween crafts together. It is a fun way to spend time
with family and friends.
In some places, there are Halloween parades where people show off their costumes. There
are also contests for the best costume. Everyone tries to be very creative and original.
Halloween is a fun and exciting holiday for people of all ages. It is a time to enjoy being a
little scared and to have fun with friends and family.
