Hi, This is Tomoko.
In the end of every Octorber, Do you celebrate halloween, don't you?
In Japan, we don't celebrate it, but we often enjoy it as one fun event.
For example, we ate pumpkin taste sweets, or recently, some people put some decorations in thieir garden. Maybe I think it's started since Tokyo Disney Land took this halloween event over their park as an Autumn event, because we didn't have any fun events during Autumn.
But I don't know how really American people celebrate it, and why people started celebrate it.
Please let me know it!
Talk to you soon, Tomoko

Hi Tomoko,
Usually on Halloween younger kids go around on what we call 'trick-or-treat'. Trick-or-treat is where kids go around neighborhoods in costume and ask for candy. Most university students and older people go to parties where they dress up in costume and play games,etc.
I am not sure of the origins of Halloween or trick-or-treat but maybe someone else will know!
Yea that's pretty much it in a nut shell. As for me, I don't participate in Halloween. It's a little strange to me.
Halloween started back in Ireland. It's a very superstitious holiday and many people believed that the dead would rejoin the living on that day. Many things that we do on Halloween now are similar to what used to happen in Ireland. They would dress up like monsters and spirits to blend in with the ghosts, they carved turnips to ward off evil and they collected berries and treats from door to door in preparation for the celebration. Now it's mostly for the fun of pretending to be someone else for a day. Free candy is always good too.
