Halloween was 4 days ago!!!!!!! I planned to dress up as a vampire this year. A few weeks ago I took out some makeup and started experimenting with it to find out which look makes me appear as a vampire. One part of the makeup was to put on bright red lipstick and then draw two lines out of my mouth to show blood. My little sister was dressing up like a witch.
Halloween was thought to have originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, this celebration was marked by the lighting of large, sacred bonfires and the wearing of costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. It was brought to America by immigrants from Ireland.
Since we decided to give out candy and trick-or-treat at the last minute we did not have any candy, so my dad and sister went to buy some. When they came home they had like 10 huge packs of different candies. Twix, Smarties, Tootsie Rolls, and Airheads. They told my mom and me that there were many people there who also decided to distribute candy at last minute.
In my neighborhood, many people put candies outside in bowls, zip locks, and halloween bags. A lot of people were outside on their driveways watching trick or treaters while others just left a bowls/tables with a sign saying "take 1" outside. I heard from some of my teachers that in their neighborhood there was a machine that candy was dropped in it, and will come out from an end so the tick or treater could catch it in a basket. That way there would not be any contact. In the neighborhood it was decided 3:00-7:00 would be the designated trick-or-treating time. We went in a circle around the neighborhood and socially distanced while trick-or-treating.
I have a bunch of favorite candies...
