Don't be alarmed when you see ghosts, goblins, princesses and monsters making their way through your neighbourhood this Thursday! They are celebrating Halloween! They may even come to your door, in search of candy!
Halloween takes place on October 31. It is a time when people dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, and carve jack-o'-lanterns from hollowed out pumpkins. Ghosts and witches are popular costumes of the children who go from house to house saying, “Trick-or-treat!” The treat is usually candy.
Join the Celebration:
🎃Prepare Your Pumpkin!
Get your pumpkin ready by carving it into a classic jack-o'-lantern. Light it up and place it on your doorstep to signal that you're giving out treats!
👉Check out these instructions on carving pumpkins: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Carve-a-Jacko-lantern/
🍬Stock Up on Treats!
Ensure you have plenty of goodies on hand—think chocolate, chips, and assorted candies—to delight the little trick-or-treaters who visit your home.
👻Costume Fun!
While dressing up is optional if you're handing out candy, consider putting your little ones in their best costumes if you plan to take them trick-or-treating. Just remember to layer them up; Halloween nights can get chilly!
🕰Children usually begin trick-or-treating as the sun sets and wrap up their adventures by 7 PM.
🏠Here are some signs that a house is participating in Halloween trick-or-treating:
🎃Lit Jack-o'-Lanterns: If you see carved pumpkins with lights inside, it usually means the homeowners are ready for trick-or-treaters.
🦇Decorations: Look for Halloween decorations, such as spooky lights, ghosts, bats, or cobwebs. These often indicate a welcoming atmosphere for visitors.
💡Open Door or Porch Lights: A house with its front porch light on is a traditional sign that they are giving out candy.

🦃🥧🎃👪🦃🥧🎃👪
Canadian Thanksgiving, celebrated on the second Monday in October, has roots that trace back to early European settlers in the 17th century. Initially, it was a harvest festival to give thanks for a successful crop season, influenced by both Indigenous traditions and European harvest festivals. The first official Thanksgiving was proclaimed in 1879, and over time, it evolved into a national holiday. Today, Canadians celebrate with family gatherings, feasting on turkey, and reflecting on gratitude, much like their American counterparts, but with distinct cultural nuances.
🦃🥧🎃👪🦃🥧🎃👪
Au Canada, l'Action de grâce est célébrée le deuxième lundi d'octobre. Cette fête a des racines qui remontent aux premiers colons européens au XVIIe siècle. À l'origine, c'était une fête de la récolte pour rendre grâce pour une saison de cultures réussie, influencée à la fois par les traditions autochtones et les fêtes de la récolte européennes. La première Action de grâce officielle a été proclamée en 1879, et au fil du temps, elle a évolué en une fête nationale. Aujourd'hui, les Canadiens célèbrent avec des réunions de famille, se régalent de dinde et réfléchissent à la gratitude.
