Halloween


What is Halloween?
I thought that Halloween was a American thing! I thought they only celebrate that kind of thing to be honest. Also I always hear rumours that Halloween is bad because u are celebrating Satins birthday, which I think is not true.

Yesterday was Halloween. But I didn't go Trick or Treating. I just stayed home like what some of my friends did. My younger brother went with some of his friends. They went trick or treating around our neighbourhood. When they came back they had arrived with no lollies because they had already eaten it when they were walking back home.

No one really came knocking on our doors. But I got to say I was kind of happy because we didn't really had any candy's because we weren't that organised. Also not that much people went trick or treating around our area.

I wished I went trick or treating to see how fun it is especially when you have to dress up in funky costume and go knocking on other people door saying "trick or treat"

Do you celebrate Halloween?
