							| Dear Vardaki, here:   It �s accurate enough. You �ll find more, if you google Halloween. And, as Eng78 suggested, if you search this site for this  Halloween contents, you �ll find some awesome stuff (60 pages, just to mention the printables!). Have a good day.   (there are no silly questions, dear Vardaki; not so sure about answers   )Best regards.   ij(nikadixon) |  21 Oct 2009

							| No, dear Vardaki, nothing to do with Xmas. It �s a pagan festival. It was blended into religions, that �s what most religions did with pagan rituals.   For instance:  in Portugal we have Bread for God �s mercy! See? The old pagan ritual was blended into Catholicism. Children knock at doors and say: Bread for God �s mercy! and we offer: money, cakes, fruit, whatever...   It �s not as funny as Halloween, though. Check Halloween at  teacher�s Youtube. You �ll find some good trailers. |  21 Oct 2009
