Hello Readers! The date is October 31st and it is Halloween!

If you didn’t know, here is some history on Halloween:

The Celts’ New Year was on November 1st, and the day before Halloween 31st was the day they believe the spirits of the dead could roam the earth. They believed this helped their popes, the druids, tell the future, so they had big bonfires. The Celts would wear animal masks to the bonfire, and that is where our costumes come from.

Every year around Halloween time, my family carves pumpkins together. On Halloween night, I have friends over for trick or treating, and my older sister goes to her friend’s house. My little sister either has friends over or just goes with my mom. This year I went with 4 other friends. We left around 6:00 pm and went around my neighborhood. It was really fun.

Here is a picture of me and the boys going trick or treating.

This year I was Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

This year I have braces so I can’t eat a lot of candies. But my favorite this year were the Nerds.
