All Saint’s Day is a Christian day to remember those who passed away. It is held every November 1st. The day before is known in some parts of the world as All Soul’s Day. In Northern America, the eve of October 31st is celebrated as Halloween. Halloween came from the term “All Hallow-Even?meaning an eve before All Saint’s Day.
Countries like US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and some in Europe celebrate Halloween. Children and adults alike, dress up in their favorite costumes and go trick-o-treat in the community, while some adults will go for bonfires, costume parties, and fireworks (Ireland). Whatever form of festivities you have in mind, heighten your awareness on safety.
The traditional neighborhood trick-o-treat is always fun. Lookout for most shopping malls that invites trick-o-treat in their stores, they give good treats! Here are some trick-o-treating safety tips:
?Costumes should be short enough to avoid tripping, stumbling or falling
?Be careful and stay away from candles or lighted decors and ensure that the costume will not get caught in it
?Always go in groups, children below 12, preferably accompanied by an adult
?Go around the familiar neighborhood, stay away from unfamiliar places
?Ring the bell and remain outside the door (even invited to come in) and take the treats
?Avoid home made food, preferably pick up food that are wrapped
?Don’t stay out late
?Keep the cell phone handy, call home and inform parents of whereabouts
?Run and yell HELP if you are in danger
Of course, it will be more fun if you can serve all those colorful festive meals for everyone this Halloween. Here are some popular recipes:
?Oreo cookies pizza with melted marshmallows poured over shaped like a ghost
?Dark chocolate cheese cake with orange- colored M & M sprinkled over whipped cream
?For drinks, make smoothie using cantaloupe pour over colorless glass container and adding a black plastic straw to accentuate it
?Short cake cookies shaped like half moon and decorate with streaks of black chocolate, yummy!

For some who cannot go out to take part in Halloween activities because you are busy working, perhaps wearing a Halloween designed scrub suits will be just right or simply wear your favorite costume or accessorize, after all it is Halloween
So, I hope you all have fun this Halloween and watch out for any unusual and scary things that will happen in the evening.
