What Does the Name 'Halloween' Mean?

  1. It is well known that halloween is contrary to popular beleifs, it is a ancient traditian created between pagans and christians, although it later got shifted over to paganism rather than christan.
  2. Halloween was supposedly a day when demons, ghosts, zombies etc came back from the dead nothing to do with witchcraft and the say after, also known as all saints day was when the angels, saints etc came down from the heavens
  3. and faught with the goulies and banished them back to hell. But.. the tradition in my country is by celebrating on the night of October 31st.,most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets.
    I remember my childwood, when I used to do this with my friends and cousins around our neighborhood...I always get back home with my pumpink basket full of candy. I enjoyed it a lot.

In general, people from the city............

In general, people from Tampico like to spend Sundays at leisure. Many of them usually visit Madero's beach as a family day. They must first prepare something to eat for lunch, it could be sandwiches or a tuna salad. Many others get some fast food before going to the beach, it might be fried chicken or hamburguers. Personally, I like to make something at home and take some fruit and juices in a coller with ice. The mean reason for this is to share moments with the family.
For example, when I was a little kid my parents used to take my brothers and me every Sunday. We enjoy a lot swimming and making sand castles.
For the most part many others families from Tampico often go to church on Sundays in order to be grateful to God for the benefits that have gotten during the whole week, including health and life.
Many others prefer to take a walk or practice any sport in a city park in order to keep them active.
Generally speaking people from my city have fans at home, work and schools to get fresher inside, many others have air conditioners during the Summer, because most of the time the weather is so hot here.
