great halloween gifts

Halloween is a fun holiday celebrated on the night of October 31st. Children will dress in their favorite costumes and go trick-or-treating for candies. These activities can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was a celebration of the end of the harvest season. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31st, the boundary between the alive and the dead disappeared, and the dead became dangerous to the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. Costumes and masks were worn at the festival to mimic the evil spirits to placate them. Because of the origin of this holiday, traditional characters for Halloween celebratons include ghosts, witches, vampires, bats, black cats, goblins, skeletons, and pumpkin-man. Halloween gifts often include one of these characters. This article provides some gift ideas for your trick or treaters.
