halloween
one
story about jack, an irishman, who was not allowed
into
heaven because he was
stingy with his money. so he was sent
to hell. but down there he played
tricks on the devil (satan), so
he was
kicked out of hell and made to walk the earth
forever
carrying a lantern.
well, irish children made jacks
lanterns on october 31st from a
large
potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides
having
holes and lit by little candles
inside. and irish children would
carry
them as they went from house to house begging for
food
for the village halloween festival
that honored the druid god
muck olla.
the irish name for these lanterns was jack with
the
lantern or jack of the lantern,
abbreviated as jack-o-lantern
and now
spelled jack-o-lantern.
the
traditional halloween you can read about in most
books
was just childrens fun night.
halloween celebrations would
start in
october in every elementary school.
children would make halloween
decorations, all kinds of
orange-paper
jack-o-lanterns. and from black paper youd cut
scary designs ---an evil witch with a
pointed hat riding through
the sky on a
broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across
the moon, and that meant bad luck. and
of course black cats
for more bad luck.
sometimes a black cat would ride away into
the sky on the back of the witchs
broom.
and on halloween
night wed dress up in mom or dads 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 well play a trick
on you! the
people inside were supposed to come to the door
and comment on our costumes.
oh! heres a ghost. oh, theres a witch.

mes they would play
along with us and pretend to
be scared
by some ghost or witch. but they would always have
