Halloween has to be one of most entertaining holidays of the year. Little children run home from school, get dressed up as ghosts, goblins, or their favorite movie characters, waiting patiently for sundown. Soon your doorbell will ring and the sound of “trick or treat, give me something good to eat” will be heard up and down the neighborhood.
