HAPPY PUMPKIN DAY!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
FACT OF THE DAY:
The American tradition of 'trick or treating' probably dates
back to the early All Souls' Day parades in England,
according to the History Channel.
During the festivities, poor citizens would
beg for food and families would give them pastries
called 'soul cakes' in return for their
promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
