Victoria's Halloween

Victoria made a presentation of PowerPoint and she presents it in the middle of the class because the activity consists of knowing how English/Irish people celebrate Halloween. I remember she showed us in the PowerPoint some type of typical Halloween food. She tells us about the “barm brack”, this was a type of “cake” with “raisins” I think. Also she shows us a picture of “colcannon”. This was like a stew of vegetables but just with cauliflower and something else. They use special water called “holy water (for animals)”. As an appetizer they eat toffee apples, they are apples normally with toffee on them.
They celebrate Halloween the night of 31st of October to 1st of November. The origin of this celebration is from Ireland, previously, the Celts. They invented Bonfires. Also they were scaring people in the street. The pumpkins are big and they are put outside houses. People, that night, dress up as a terrible thing, monster or character, something but always scary. Victoria was disguised as a devil and spy girl. She thinks it is good to have a party and to have a good time. Puring this period of the year kids play trick or treating and they are carving and scooping out the pumpkin. Also they make Jack-o-lanterns; there are pumpkins without anything inside except a lantern. There is a pumpkin with a lantern inside.
