- <h1>the excitement builds</h1><br />
<br />
<p>It’s just about time to head out into the night to do some trick-or-treating. Mom adds the final touch to a beautiful (and easy) princess costume: a paper party hat dressed up with a few ribbons and pom-poms. And considering that Halloween is the third-largest party occasion of the year (after Christmas and New Year’s), it’s no wonder trick-or-treaters want to look their best.</p>

- <h1>A Welcoming Scene</h1><br />
<br />
<p>Decorating for Halloween doesn’t have to be all about gravestones and spiderwebs. A pile of pumpkins of different shades, twisted vines and cut flowers from the garden make for a charming entrance. Add a fake raven, do your best to keep your family’s cat sitting on the porch (yeah, right), and you have a hint of eerie without going overboard.</p>

- <h1>The Doorbell Rings</h1><br />
<br />
<p>Trick-or-treating has its roots in an early English practice during which the poor would go from door to door on All Souls Day begging for food in exchange for prayers for the dead. Though the term “trick or treat” wasn’t cemented until the ’50s in the U.S., it’s now a part of the Halloween tradition. Word is that most kids prefer a treat to a trick.</p>

- <h1>Sweet Tooths</h1><br />
<br />
<P>Maybe it’s based in some kind of strange hoarding instinct, but there is little more satisfying to a trick-or-treater than to see her bag start filling with treats. Canadians now spend over $250 million on Halloween treats in October, so there are plenty to go around.</p>

- <h1>it's more fun with friends</h1><br />
<br />
<p>Ancient Celts would dress up on Samhain—the celebration on which Halloween is based—either to avoid being recognized by ghosts returning to the earth to damage crops and cause trouble, or to frighten the spirits away. Though an adorable fairy and kitty cat would do little to frighten anyone, it’s possible they could spook the ghosts with sweetness.</p>

- <h1>creepy crawlies</h1><br />
<br />
<P>The Celtic celebration known as Samhain marked the end of the summer, the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. It was believed that at this time of year the veil between this world and the next was at its thinnest, and souls of the deceased could return to the earth.</p>

- <h1>special treats</h1><br />
<br />
<P>Though packaged candy is the way to go for most kids at your door, neighbourhood kids (whose parents you know) might appreciate a special treat in the form of baked pumpkin cookies or other handmade treats.</p>

- <h1>light the pumpkin</h1><br />
<br />
<P>Once upon a time there was a man named Jack, who chased the devil up a tree and wouldn’t let him come down. When Jack died, he couldn’t get into Heaven on account of his meanness, and the devil didn’t want him in hell, so he was doomed to walk the earth eternally. The devil took some pity and gave him a glowing ember to light Jack’s path, which Jack placed into a hollowed-out turnip. This ancient Irish folk tale led to the evolution of the modern day jack-o’-lantern.</p>

- <h1>heading home</h1><br />
<br />
<p>Halloween as we know it isn’t a global celebration by any means. It’s popular in North America, Ireland (where it originated), and it’s gaining some popularity in the UK and the rest of Europe. At the end of a long night of marching up to doors and carrying an increasingly bulky bag of sweets, it’s nice to know that we don’t have to share our candy with everyone.</p>
