Spooky, scary, pumpkin carving, jack-o’-lanterns, and haunted houses are the words that come to mind when I think of this day. Can you guess what it is?
If you said Halloween, then congratulations, you are correct! Halloween is celebrated on the last day of October. It marks the end of summer and the beginning of the dark, cold winter. In modern times, people celebrate Halloween by wearing costumes, and children go around the neighborhood asking for candy by playing trick-or-treat.
Although Halloween is not one of the official celebrations in Vietnam, the theme is something that people love to embrace on that day.
