halloween

Halloween was originally a pagan Irish holy festival. When Ireland converted to Roman Catholicism, the Church gave Halloween a Christian connotation.
Halloween is now an excuse for children to dress up and beg for candy!

Halloween

My favorite holiday. Halloween is when children (and anyone else who can get away with it) get tons of free candy. It's also a very amusing holiday and there a lots of parties that are epic. The end.
Halloween is great.

Halloween

A holiday in October where men dress up, and women dress down.
Classic Halloween examples include women dressing up like animals, nurses and "bad cops" while men dawn robes of the clergy.

Halloween

Halloween is an ancient Celtic festival that celebrates (or celebrated) the Lord of the Dead. During their festivals, they dressed in scary costumes and carved scary faces on turnips (and now pumpkins) to scare the evil demons away, and made huge bonfires where they burnt offerings to the pagan gods (like vegetables and children - nice mix, huh?)

Later, since the Pagans wouldn't stop their death celebrations, the Christian church changed the name to All Saints' day (a celebration of the Christian saints instead) and voilà! Now everyone's beliefs are combined and everyone is happy. Then from that was All Hollow's Eve, and so on and so forth until it was Halloween.

Now, little kids run around in princess costumes collecting candy from strangers and decorating their homes with death symbols.

...I'm sure that the princess costumes did a much better job at scaring the demons.

Person: Haha, I'm gonna be a dead cheerleader.

Halloween Walk of Shame

When you emerge from a guy's house wearing the same Halloween costume you partied in the night before reeking of booze, sweat, and maybe pumpkins- all in good fun from the night before. And unlike the normal walk of shame... you cannot hide in your halloween costume.
