The face of Halloween, Put your halloween drawings here Options

NVA,
Back in the old days, people believed that for one night in the year, the spirits of the dead could walk the earth again. This night was known as All Hallow's Eve (Halloween). People who feared these ghosts would take a pumpkin, hollow out the inside of it, and carve a scary face into, then set it outside their home to keep away the bad spirits. Witches are often associated with Halloween because this night had something to do with the paganist religion, and paganists were labeled as "witches" by other religions, and black cats were their familiars. No more on that, as we're not supposed to discuss religions on DS.

Nowdays, most people don't know or care what Halloween is really about, or where it came from. For the kids, it means dressing up scary and walking around the neighborhood getting lots of free candy from strangers and scaring each other. Common images that are associated with Halloween are: jack-o-lanterns, witches, black cats, ghosts, vampires, mummies, zombies, spiderwebs, tombstones, skeletons, anything to do with scary dead stuff. The food most common to Halloween seems to be apples. An old traditional game was "bobbing for apples", where apples were put into a tub of water, and people took turns trying to catch one in their teeth, no hands allowed. We have apples that are covered with caramel or a candy coating, and stuck onto a stick for easier eating. Hmm well that's all I can think of right now, hope this gave you a better understanding of what Halloween is all about. It's just good scary fun!

Thank you very much Mindy! Now I understand the drawings on Halloween. May be someday I'll tell some old stories and old believes in Vietnam, with traditional drawings, paintings and sculptures.
