Halloween is celebrated on 31st of October when children dress up in spooky costumes and go from one door to another to ask for candy. When someone opens the door, the children are supposed to say: "Trick or treat", so they can get candy. Since almost everyone celebrated Halloween yesterday, we did not want to feel left out so we prepared a small surprise for you.
