Halloween!!



Muahahahaha!! Halloween is coming!! Yeah.. But too bad we Malaysian's do not celebrate Halloween. It's a fun season too :) oo.. All scary and spooky.. Hehe.. Nuffnang is having this Nuffnang Nokia Silent Halloween event going on.. And I am just blogging about this.. for the fun of it? Hmm.. anyway.. It's in conjuction with Halloween coming up this 31st October. :)



I looked up Wikipedia.. Just to read about Halloween.
Halloween, or Hallowe’en, 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. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia. In Sweden the All Saints' official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November.



Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (Irish pronunciation: [ˈsˠaunʲ]; 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.

Introduction and the history. Although I do not really know Halloween well, I still find it fun.. and spooky.. Hehe.. Well.. Friends out there.. Why not lets have a Halloween party? Lol. We can dress up, have fun decorating the venue (Where ever that is) Lol. Anyway.. I do wish to have a Halloween party. Maybe one day.. Hehe.. Yeah. It'll be fun. Hehe.. ;) Pumpkin faces?? Wow. I would love to crave some scary faces out of pumpkins like those pictures.. Hahaha.. Hmmm.. ;)



Oo.. Graveyard trips anyone?? :) Happy Halloween to all you people out there!
