This will be my first Halloween. I do not know what is the party's meaning but mum has told me about it. I live in Spain so this party is not very common to celebrate here. Mum has said that Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain from the Old Irish samain. The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year".Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.
In Spain we celebrate All Saints Day and people go to the cemetery to visit their relatives and bring flowers to them.
I prefer to celebrate Halloween because I am a child and I would like to dress up for the party but I do not think that we go away this night I am still so small to spend the night away. I think we will celebrate it at home with mum and dad and my four cats.
