The History and Origin of Halloween
Maybe you have heard or celebrated Halloween since you're child, but have you known about The History and Origin of Halloween? Some people think that Halloween is celebration of devil and satan or any another evil things. It's a big NO.
Quoted from Wikipedia, the word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556. Halloween is celebration of the end of the growing season, a heralding of the coming of the winter months and folk traditions that told of the day when the veil between the living and the dead, ever a transparent, gossamer veil at that, would lift and ghosts would walk among the living. Its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain.Halloween travels to around the world brought by European immigrants.

Halloween Party Ideas for Kids
Trick or treat? Maybe almost people know this term. Many countries know this as a traditional activity on Halloween Day. Children go in Halloween costume from house to house, knocking on doors while asking for treats such as candy, gift or sometimes money, with the question, "Trick or treat?"
Thinking about Halloween party ideas for your kids? You need to prepare Halloween party theme, costume, food, invitation,greeting card, and many more. Let's explore about Halloween Party Ideas
Party Theme
You don't need to choose spooky or horror party theme, even you can choose your kid's favorite cartoon character. I suggest some kids movie such as Ghostbuster, Megamind, Casper, Frankenstein, etc. Just ask your kids for a better choice.
Party Games
Kids always love games and doorprize. You can create trick or treat games, or pinata with candy chocolate. Games always make the party more and more fun.
Party Costumes
Adjust dress/costume code with party theme, or maybe you let the guest use their own costume freely. It's good idea giving a spooky but cute mask for everyone.
Party Decoration
Jack O Lantern, yes it's like a mascot of Halloween. You need pumpkin carving for this. Use a dark light and do not use a candle. It could be damage your kids.
