Happy Halloween
or
All Hallows Eve
On Tuesday, there will be lots of ghosts and goblins roaming around many village, town, and city streets! 
Halloween falls on October 31, which in the old Celtic calendar was the last day of the year, its night being the time when all the witches and warlocks were abroad. On the introduction of Christianity, it was taken over as the eve (even or e’en) of All Hallows or All Saints.

Of course, most young people know that the most important part is “trick or treating” – and the treats are the most important part of all!!
While you are out trick or treating make sure to follow a few simple rules to stay safe.
- Don’t go out alone. If you aren’t with a parent, get together with a small group.
- Make sure you can see through your costume / mask – or don’t wear a mask.
- Dress in bright colours or use reflective tape to be sure you can be seen by drivers.
- Approach homes that are well lit and look like they are ready for trick or treaters. (Don’t
go near dark homes and NEVER enter a stranger’s house.) - Save your candy until you get home. You will want to check it over or have a parent check it first.
- On a similar note – Don’t eat your candy all at once!
- Having a cell phone would be good, too.
