How-to Have Fun on Halloween
Did you know that Halloween is celebrated in several countries? It is celebrated mostly in North America and Canada. But what is Halloween? Halloween is thought to be associated with the Celtic festival Samhain when ghosts and spirits were believed to be abroad. There are many fun things to do on Halloween including watching movies, carving pumpkins and hanging out with your friends.
There are many movies and T.V shows that you can watch on Halloween. One movie you can watch is Casper. The movie Casper is about a kind young ghost who peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine. You can also watch the four Halloweentown movies. The Halloweentown movies are about how three siblings discover they come from a family of witches. Another movie you can watch is the conjuring. The Conjuring is about how a family moved into a secluded farmhouse where a supernatural presence has made itself known. These three movies are some of my favorite movies to watch on Halloween.
Going to the pumpkin patch is one of my favorite things to do on Halloween. One of the things that you can do is go through the corn maze. There are many things you can do with corn mazes like having races. Having races is fun because you are trying to beat your friends and then later on if you win you can rub it in their face. Not only can you go through a corn maze, you can also see farm animals. Some animals that are at pumpkin patches are goats, pigs, mini horses, etc. Additionally, you can go on hay rides. You get on a trailer, sit on hay bales and a tractor takes you to where all the pumpkins are. These are all fun activities because it is a Halloween tradition that you can do with your friends and family.
Do you love to make desserts? Well, I got the right Halloween treats for you. One easy dessert that you can make are peanut butter spider cookies. All you need to make them are chocolate chips, peanut butter cups, candy eyes, and the cookie ingredients. Another easy dessert that you can make are dipped pretzels. You just need three easy ingredients. Large pretzel rods, orange/white candy melts and your choice of candy eyes or sprinkles. Lastly, caramel apples are a fun treat to eat and make. The only ingredients you need apples, melted caramel and your choice of chopped up candy/ small candy.
Halloween is fun for everybody. Not only can people watch movies, go to a pumpkin patch and bake, they can also go trick-or-treating, go to haunted houses, and go to a party/host a party that involves no drinking. There are so many things that you can do on Halloween. So get off your butt and go have fun!
