Some Interesting Origins of Halloween
Yesterday was Halloween; I enjoyed a happy party with my friends.
In order to make our party more interesting and meaningful, everyone had to prepare one performance, for example, jokes, ghost sorties or songs.
I wasn't good at these things, so I delivered a speech about the origin of Halloween.
However, it finally turned out to be the most popular one among all interesting activities, which was totally out of my expectation.
Next, let me introduce the origin of this thrilling festival.
We usually decorated our party rooms like haunted houses.
However, these haunted houses are based on Victorian England's 'Scare Manors'.
People punished children who did not mine enough coal by sending them to these frightening rooms.
'Trick or Treat' game originated from early American settlers.
They would give children candies on Halloween; and they deemed that this way was much easier than talking to them about the meaning of death.
Throwing toilet parchment was another eccentric behavior.
Pre-Christian pagans would litter these things around the trees near their mean alchemy teacher's house.
Everyone will buy a Jack-o' lantern on Halloween.
The diverting pumpkin first appeared in 1981, but it was only a promotional strategy of Monsanto's pumpkin sales.
Despite of pumpkin, we also sing the song 'Monster Mash', which is improved from an anthem 'I Worketh In The Abbey Into The Darkness One Night' (O Monster Of Salvation), which was song in medieval Gregorian All Saints' Day.
We also have some other interesting games on Halloween such as bobbing for apples.
It is said that this game was originated at a Halloween party which created this special game for one arm-less friend.
Anyway, I like this origination which shows friendship and sympathy.
Furthermore, there is a loosened bathrobe trick.
It was Nathaniel Darder of Worcester who first created this game in 1928.
As we are enjoying our exciting Halloween, modern witches and wizards do not have much enthusiasm about today's Halloween traditions.
May be they prefer to live in medieval time rather than modern century.
Actually, they feel much boring on Halloween when most of us are exciting on our thrilling parties.
