Halloween is a popular festival celebrated on October 31st every year. It has its roots in ancient Celtic traditions and has evolved into a fun and colorful event, especially in Western countries.

One of the most well-known Halloween customs is "trick-or-treating." Children dress up in costumes and go from house to house, asking for candy with the phrase "trick or treat." If they don't get a treat, they might play a small trick on the homeowner.

Another common tradition is carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns. People place candles inside the carved pumpkins and put them near their doors or windows to light the way for spirits.

Wearing costumes is also a big part of Halloween. People of all ages enjoy dressing up as ghosts, witches, superheroes, or other characters. This tradition is believed to have started as a way to scare away evil spirits.

Halloween parties are another highlight. Friends and family gather to play games, tell stories, and enjoy special treats like apple bobbing and candy apples.

Although Halloween has become more commercialized, it still keeps many of its traditional elements. It's a time for fun, creativity, and community celebration.
