Halloween, What Do People Do?

Halloween is usually celebrated amongst family, friends and, sometimes, co-workers. However, some areas hold large community events

Some families carve lanterns with 'scary' faces out of pumpkins or other vegetables or decorate their homes and gardens in Halloween style.

At each house, they demand sweets, snacks or a small gift. If they do not get this, they threaten to do some harm to the inhabitants of the house. This is known as playing 'trick-or-treat'

Many children dress up in fancy costumes and visit other homes in the neighborhood.
