*.・ HALLOWEEN・.*

Hi, everyone. It’s been a long time. How have you been? I am in the best of health. By the way, I searched for Halloween this time. Do you know Halloween? It is an America fall festival, and traditional event of Catholicism. This is done on October 31. It is assumed that Celt’s harvest Thanksgiving was taken to Catholicism. Celt believed that the spirits and the witch came to own house. To defend bodying from these, they wore a mask, and made a fire about the amulet. These are starts of Halloween. The vicinity is visited while saying, the child who wears witch costume is “Trick or treat”, and they who got the candy have a party using this candy. The theme of Halloween is the eerie one and is frightened. For characters who relate to Halloween generally include in the ghost, the witch, the Dracula, the Frankenstein, the black cat, the zombie, the bat, the banshee and so on. The house is decorated with these symbols at time before and behind Halloween, and isn’t the symbol of the most famous Halloween a pumpkin? In Halloween, the candle puts in pumpkin. The purpose of this is to fear the evil spirit, and decorates with this pumpkin at the previous night of Halloween.

I was very interested in Halloween because of this search. I want to experience this festival, and want to be the Dracula. If I got a lot of candies, I want to hold party with my friends. I think that it is surely happy. Festival is happy for me, and it is traditional and good. I do SHISHIMAI every year. It is also traditional and good. When we go to the United States, let's experience Halloween.
