Halloween(history and party)

Hi people!!
I am going to talk you about the Halloween history and then, about our party.


History

Halloween
is a
holiday celebrated on the night of October 31.
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies.
Halloween is celebrated in severals countries, but in U.S.A is the most important site of this celebration.
The commercialization of Halloween in the United States did not start until the 20th century, beginning perhaps with Halloween postcards (featuring hundreds of designs) which were most popular between 1905 and 1915. Dennison Manufacturing Company, which published its first Hallowe'en catalog in 1909, and the Beistle Company were pioneers in commercially made Halloween decorations, particularly die-cut paper items.German manufacturers specialised in Halloween figurines that were exported to the United States in the period between the two world wars.



The party.


This is the first year that we have a Halloween party. We bought our costumes here. I wore a devil costume and Virginia wore an angel costume. The party was very funny because it had a lot of foods and games. Here, I put a photo:
