Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was a celebration of the end of the harvest season.

Celts believed that on the night before Samhain, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. They would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off evil spirits.

The tradition of trick-or-treating also has its roots in Celtic culture.

It is thought to have originated with a practice called mumming, in which people would dress up in costumes and go door to door begging for food or money.

Today, Halloween is celebrated in countries all over the world. In the United States, children typically dress up as ghosts, witches, monsters, or other supernatural creatures and go trick-or-treating around their neighborhood. Adults often throw Halloween parties or attend haunted houses. And of course, no Halloween is complete without pumpkin carving!
