Do you know how we celebrate Halloween? People hand out candy dress-up and try to scare people. Well where we got it they did it similar and did it different. They didn't hand out candy or scare people,but they did dress-up. When they did dress-up it was serious. It wasn't just for fun to us it's October 31 to them it was the Day of the Dead. Halloween really came from Europe. Now lets get back to the educational part. To them October 31st was when spirits of the dead could spend one day on earth. The Europians were afraid of the spirits so all of them disguised themselves so they wouldn't be harmed. After the day had passed everything was normal.
