I’ve got a few hours till our Halloween starts. However because I’m in high school they had us dress up (which is better than wearing my uniform). I came as a Icelandic Footballer. I won’t trick or treat tonight, I haven’t since I was 12, but I will had out candy because my neighborhood is a hotspot for kids. Plus, it’s called cold outside, so it takes balls to go door to door.

 

Since last year? :p

The Halloween tradition of trick or treating goes way back here to Celtic times. Obviously not kids looking for candies :p. But for more simpler things like nuts, and fruits from the harvest. Halloween is thought to have its roots in the ancient Irish Celtic festival of Samhain.

Yep that’s what we’re taught in history class here on Halloween
