Halloween - October 31
Halloween is often celebrated by children dressing up as fantasy characters and going door to door
to ask for candy by saying "Trick or Treat." In more recent years, many communities will have a
select location for children to go to collect candy from stores, churches or other businesses.
Depending on the community, families may attend hay mazes, haunted houses or other events to
celebrate the holiday. Families also often hold Halloween parties in their homes.
Decorations for Halloween include fake spider webs, fake tombstones and jack-o-lanterns (a face
carved into a pumpkin).
People who don't celebrate "Halloween" will sometimes celebrate a "Harvest Day" or a similar event.
Veterans' Day - November 11
A day for honoring those who have served in the war, either alive or dead. Though many businesses
remain open for this day, most federal buildings, schools and banks are closed.
