Description
How did Halloween become the holiday we know today? Join Amelia, Auntie Jo Jo's guest reader, for a fascinating journey through the history of Halloween, from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain to the traditions of trick-or-treating, jack-o'-lanterns, and costumes.
Discover how ancient seasonal celebrations, medieval customs, and Irish and Scottish traditions helped shape modern Halloween. Learn why people once carved turnips instead of pumpkins, where the tradition of souling came from, and how trick-or-treating became a favorite activity for children.
