In This Article:

Halloween is a popular holiday that is celebrated throughout the world. It originated from Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival. People during the festival would light bonfires, and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. When Pope Gregory the third designated November 1 as All Saints Day incorporated some of the Samhain Traditions. The evening before All Saints Day was called All Hallows Eve, but later was called Halloween instead. Here's a guide to Halloween.

Pumpkin seeds are good! If you've never had pumpkin seeds, you should try them. Painting and carving pumpkins are fun as well. Growing up, I carved pumpkins, but now I would rather paint them.

I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
