Spooky Gift Ideas for Halloween

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), often known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, can be a celebration noticed in several countries on 31 October, the eve on the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] any time in the liturgical year specialized in remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and the faithful departed.It is widely thought many Halloween traditions came from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, especially the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals can have had pagan roots; understanding that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween because of the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely being a Christian holiday.Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or related guising and souling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, in addition to watching horror films. In many parts on the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles around the graves from the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is often a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected inside eating of certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.
