The annual traditional Western holiday Halloween is here again. In Europe, it is traditionally believed that the eve of Halloween is the time that spiritual world gets the closest to human world. Children will carry pumpkins, wear all kinds of peculiar costume, go door to door to ask for candy, and keep saying: “trick or treat”. If you refuse to give candy, children will get furious and punish you in different ways, such as dumping garbage in your doorstep and so on until you are willing to offer candy. Therefore, Halloween is a fun and “tasty” holiday for children.
