Halloween
Halloween
• People in the United
  States celebrate
  Halloween on October
  31st.
• Children and adults
  celebrate Halloween
  through various
  activities, such as trick-or-
  treating, apple-
  bobbing, pumpkin-
  carving, throwing
  costume parties, and
  even lightning bonfires
  and telling scary stories.
How Do We Celebrate It?
• Children wear costumes
  and visit other homes in
  the neighborhood. At
  each house, they
  demand sweets or
  snacks. If the children do
  not receive their
  candy, they threaten to
  do some harm to the
  inhabitants of the house.
  This game is called
  “trick-or-treating”.
How Do We Celebrate It?
• Of course, these
  children do not harm
  the house or play nasty
  tricks on owners. Trick-
  or-treating is done in a
  friendly manner!
• Parents or older
  siblings always
  accompany the children
  to make sure they are
  safe.
How Do We Celebrate It?
• Costume parties on
  Halloween are popular with
  young adults. They are usually
  held by the owner of a
  house, but they could also
  occur at a club. Every person
  who attends has to wear a
  costume!
• Some costumes are
  traditional (Dracula, a
  werewolf, a superhero) while
  others are very original.
Some Original Costumes!
How Do We Celebrate It?
• Pumpkin Carving: Young
  adults and families
  carve pumpkins with
  scary or comical faces.
  They place candles in
  the pumpkins and then
  put them on the
  porches of their homes
  and gardens. These
  pumpkins glow in the
  dark and they are called
  a Jack O’Lanterns.
The Story of the Jack O-Lantern
• Stingy Jack was an old drunk who
  liked to play tricks on his
  family, friends, and even the
  Devil. One day, he tricked the
  Devil into climbing up an apple
  tree. Once the Devil climbed up
  the apple tree, Stingy Jack placed
  crosses around the trunk, so that
  the Devil could not get down.
• Stingy Jack made the Devil
  promise he would not take his
  soul when he died. Once the
  devil promised this, Stingy Jack
  removed the crosses and let the
  Devil down.
The Story of the Jack O-Lantern
• Years later, when Jack died, he went
  to Heaven but was told he was too
  mean and cruel to enter . He then
  went down to Hell. The Devil kept his
  promise and would not allow him
  into Hell. Jack had nowhere to go
  and he was scared to wander around
  forever in the darkness between
  heaven and hell.
• He asked the Devil how he could
   leave, since there was no light.
   Mockingly, the Devil tossed him
   an ember. Jack put the ember in a
   turnip, which was his favorite
   food. Since that day, Stingy Jack
   walked the earth without a place
   to rest, lighting his way with his
   "Jack O'Lantern".
Why Pumpkins and Not Turnips?
• This story comes from
  Ireland. The Irish used
  to put a light in turnips
  to keep evil spirits and
  Stingy Jack away.
• In the USA, Irish
  immigrants discovered
  that pumpkins were
  bigger and easier to
  carve. So, they started
  using them for Jack
  O'Lanterns.
Interesting Jack O’Lanterns
Other Ways to Celebrate Halloween
• Apple Bobbing: The game is
  played by putting apples in a
  container filled with water.
  The players try to catch one
  with their teeth. You can’t use
  your hands!
• Some people like to visit
  haunted houses. Others, if
  they are out in nature, make
  bonfires and tell scary stories.
• People also get creative and
  make their own
  games, especially for their
  children.
What is Halloween Like in Galicia?
• Do you carve vegetables? Do you use pumpkins
  for decorations or any other purpose?
• Are there certain foods people tend to eat?
• Is there a spiritual significance to Halloween?
• Do kids trick-or-treat? What type of costumes do
  they wear?
• Do you and your friends get together to celebrate
  Halloween? Are there any festivities in your
  community?
