Wishing you a Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween, everybody! I wish all of you a fun and safe night. Don't go too crazy with the candy, and be sure to scare a few people just for the fun of it. To celebrate the holiday, I thought I'd share a picture of my jack-o-lantern with you. I call it the Cannibal Pumpkin. Have a great Halloween, and see you all Monday!

Halloween was originally called All Hallows' Eve. The name is shortened from All Hallows' Even ("Even" being short for Evening), which then turned into All Hallows' E'en, then to Hallowe'en, and finally to Halloween. According to some religions, this holiday (beginning at sunset and ending at midnight) is a time for the spirits of the dead to temporarily enter our realm. November 1 is All Saints' Day, or All Hallows. This day religiously celebrates all of the saints, known and unknown.
