Hallowmas---Trick or Treat

Spooky, kooky, creepy, and fun! Halloween is the time of Ghosts, Goblins, Gravestones and Graveyards, of Spooks and Spirits and silly-fun tricks, of witches and warlocks and scary black cats, of candy corn, jelly apples, pumpkins and bats. Halloween is one of the oldest festivals with origins going back thousands of years, and there many related festival items to sell on our website.
Hallowmas is an annual holiday celebrated on Nov. 1st in Western countries, and it is Halloween on Oct 31st which usually called All Hallows' Eve. As night fells, kids could not wait to put on colorful make-up clothes, wearing strange masks, and hold a "Jack Lanterns" ran out to play. They will go from door-to-door and ask adults for gifts. Today, the most well-known symbol of Halloween are these two things --- fantastic "Jack Light" and mischief of "Trick or treat".

And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad’s old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors’ houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, “Trick or treat!” meaning, “Give us a treat (something to eat) or we’ll play a trick on you!” The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes. Oh! Here’s a ghost. Oh, there’s a witch. Oh, here’s an old lady. Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our “trick or treat bags”. But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away? Then we’d play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and making marks on their windows. And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy.
The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children’s fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school. You can choose various festival items such as party masks, festival decorations, lanterns on Sellersunion Online.
