-2000 years ago: The Celts celebrate their New Year on November first. They believe that the day before, deads come alive. To be protected, the Celts put food in front of their houses (to feed the spirits) and dress in ghost costumes (to be mistaken for "true ghosts")
-More than 1000 years ago: the Church makes November 1st the "All Saints' Day", or the "All Hallows' Day". As the Celts, Europeans thinks that the dead come alive in "The Hallows' Eve", after abbreviated as "Halloween".
- Europeans immigrate to America and bring the Halloween tradition with them
-Today: The Halloween is considered more as a "children holiday" than a religious holiday. Americans spend around 6 billions per year to celebrate this day, making Halloween one of the "more expensives" holidays!
