Halloween

Halloween is almost here and everybody;young or old are looking forwarded to the day. Americans take part in Halloween by trick or treating or just having parties, where as Halloween for other countries like Romania : revolves around "Dracula". Every country depending on their culture and lifestyle celebrate their holidays in different methods and ways. Some countries don't even have holidays like Halloween or understand why other countries have them. My friend's grandparents came from India few days ago and when they went shopping here, they were very surprised at all the Halloween decorations. When my friend tried to explain to them the concept of Halloween and dressing up as monsters/other characters; they couldn't understand why we would do such a thing. Indians being a spiritual and very superstitious would have never made an holiday like this because of their culture. We have holidays were the demons' were destroyed by God but never a day dedicated to the monsteres/ghosts/etc alone. This event made me realize how a person's culture and lifestyle influences their holidays and their methods to celebrate certain things.
