Every October 31st carved pumpkins peer out from porches and doorsteps inscribed with ghoulish faces and illuminated by candles. Halloween, one of the world's oldest holidays, is still celebrated today in many countries around the globe. In Mexico and other Latin American countries, Día de los Muertos—the Day of the Dead—honors deceased loved ones. The practice of decorating “jack-o’-lanterns” comes from an Irish folktale and traditions include costume parties, trick-or-treating, pranks and games. Hey all you ghosts and goblins .... I hope you didn't wait until the last minute to get your costume!
