The Funahashi Times No.27　世界各国の「ハロウィーン」

Hi there!

Halloween is celebrated on the last day of October every year. Many people say that it started from Ireland a long time ago. Today, it is celebrated in almost every country around the world. Each country has its own style. In America, children wear costumes and go from house to house to ask for candies. They call it “Trick or Treat”. In Mexico, they have “Dia de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead). They have it on November 1. Mexicans decorate cemeteries with flowers like marigold. In Philippines, we also go to cemeteries and bring candles. Many kids also wear costumes of fairies, ghosts, and monsters. Some join costume contests. Many people share scary stories to have fun. How about in Japan? Do you celebrate Halloween?
