Behind the holiday
by Bob Chan
Well, it’s that time of year again where we go out and get free candy. Halloween is an annual festival celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. Most people do various activities, which include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. There are many things in San Diego such as going to the Haunted Trails in Balboa Park or going to the movies and watching Paranormal Activity or Saw 6.
Even U.S. President Barrack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama on Saturday doled out presidential M&Ms and dried fruit mixes to more than 2,000 trick-or-treaters, marking their Halloween at a White House event. Mrs. Obama wore furry cat ears and a leopard-patterned top. Mr. Obama said the kids looked adorable, as well as his wife, “a very nice looking Catwoman.”
I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween
