Do you know what Halloween is really about? You may believe that Halloween is all about getting candy but it is actually about the dead spirits coming back alive and burning bonfires to ward them off. It originates back in the 9th century at the Celtic festival known as Samhain. At the festival they would come dressed up at night and have bonfires to ward off the spirits.
The reasons I don’t celebrate Halloween are
- When you search up the meaning of Halloween there are so many different versions meaning it could be made up.
- On Halloween all you do is go trick or treating for candy at strangers’ doors so it’s kind of just doing what the government, teachers, ur parents and any grown up says not to do which is knocking on stranger’s doors.
- It is just giving the costume shops of food shops so much money for one day’s worth which could be a waste of money.
- It involves a lot around ghost spirits and bringing stuff back to the dead and I don’t believe any of that stuff as well as my religion.
My full opinion is that Halloween is a waste of time and money with nothing useful happening. Although this is my opinion, other people can have different opinions and this doesn’t mean to stop doing it. This is just what I think about Halloween.
Hi Georgia, I don’t celebrate Halloween either! For most of the same reasons as you. I hate scary stuff and also all the litter in the neighbourhood. Nice blog post. (From Tom’s mum.)
Thankyou Tom’s mum☺️
I have to say I agree with you, Miss Thompson. I don’t celebrate Halloween either. I personally feel knocking at strangers’ doors and asking them for candy/food less safe or polite. If I have my own children, I probably would not encourage them to do these.
