It's the Halloween time of the year again, and it is my first Halloween in California. The whole ritual is the same from the east coast - scary masks, capes and black witch hats... As every year I will miss the Halloween parade because I will be in Japan at this time. Recently, Halloween has become popular among the Japanese that the young people wear costumes and party on this day of horror. I just realized that I've had no idea about the origin of Halloween for all these years. So, I researched: Its root is a Celtic festival which celebrated the harvest time. (Then, why ghosts and horror stuff???) Perhaps, again, as the Valentine's Day, it has been hyped up by the candy industries? Anyway, have a fun trick-or-treat day, everyone!
