False<\/h1>\r\n\r\nHalloween\u2019s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their New Year on November 1.\r\nThis day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of a cold, dark winter. Celts believed that on the night before the New Year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred, where the ghosts of the dead, generally endeared relatives, returned to earth. \u201cAll Saints\u2019 Day,\u201d \u201cHallowe'en\" and \u201cHalloween\u201d mean \"Saints' Evening.\u201d\r\n<p>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/Games\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/painting-1.jpg\" width=\"100%\"><p>\r\nToday's Halloween customs are still thought to have been influenced by folk customs and beliefs from the Celtic-speaking countries, some of which are believed to have pagan roots. Jack Santino, a folklorist, writes that \"there was throughout Ireland an uneasy truce existing between customs and beliefs associated with Christianity and those associated with religions that were Irish before Christianity arrived.\" Historian Nicholas Rogers added, \u201cthat while some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which (again) comes from the Old Irish for 'Summer's End.'\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='mtq_question mtq_scroll_item-1' id='mtq_question-2-1'><table class='mtq_question_heading_table'><tr><td><div class='mtq_question_label '>Question 2<\/div><div id='mtq_stamp-2-1' class='mtq_stamp'><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><div id='mtq_question_text-2-1' class='mtq_question_text'><img src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/Games\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/maskCrow.jpg\"  width=\"100%\"><p>\r\n\r\nThe earliest known occurrence of the Halloween custom of \"guising\" (Known in other nations as <em>disguising<\/em>, trick & treating), stems from this country.<\/div><table class='mtq_answer_table'><colgroup><col class='mtq_oce_first'\/><\/colgroup><tr id='mtq_row-2-1-1' onclick='mtq_button_click(2,1,1)' class='mtq_clickable'><td class='mtq_letter_button_td'><div id='mtq_button-2-1-1' class='mtq_css_letter_button mtq_letter_button_0'  alt='Question 2, Choice 1'>A<\/div><div id='mtq_marker-2-1-1' class='mtq_marker mtq_wrong_marker' alt='Wrong'><\/div><\/td><td class='mtq_answer_td'><div id='mtq_answer_text-2-1-1' class='mtq_answer_text'>France<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr id='mtq_row-2-2-1' onclick='mtq_button_click(2,2,1)' class='mtq_clickable'><td class='mtq_letter_button_td'><div id='mtq_button-2-2-1' class='mtq_css_letter_button mtq_letter_button_1'  alt='Question 2, Choice 2'>B<\/div><div id='mtq_marker-2-2-1' class='mtq_marker mtq_wrong_marker' alt='Wrong'><\/div><\/td><td class='mtq_answer_td'><div id='mtq_answer_text-2-2-1' class='mtq_answer_text'>Germany<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr id='mtq_row-2-3-1' onclick='mtq_button_click(2,3,1)' class='mtq_clickable'><td class='mtq_letter_button_td'><div id='mtq_button-2-3-1' class='mtq_css_letter_button mtq_letter_button_2'  alt='Question 2, Choice 3'>C<\/div><div id='mtq_marker-2-3-1' class='mtq_marker mtq_wrong_marker' alt='Wrong'><\/div><\/td><td class='mtq_answer_td'><div id='mtq_answer_text-2-3-1' class='mtq_answer_text'>Ireland<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr id='mtq_row-2-4-1' onclick='mtq_button_click(2,4,1)' class='mtq_clickable'><td class='mtq_letter_button_td'><div id='mtq_button-2-4-1' class='mtq_css_letter_button mtq_letter_button_3'  alt='Question 2, Choice 4'>D<\/div><div id='mtq_marker-2-4-1' class='mtq_marker mtq_wrong_marker' alt='Wrong'><\/div><\/td><td class='mtq_answer_td'><div id='mtq_answer_text-2-4-1' class='mtq_answer_text'>Italy<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr id='mtq_row-2-5-1' onclick='mtq_button_click(2,5,1)' class='mtq_clickable'><td class='mtq_letter_button_td'><div id='mtq_button-2-5-1' class='mtq_css_letter_button mtq_letter_button_4'  alt='Question 2, Choice 5'>E<\/div><div id='mtq_marker-2-5-1' class='mtq_marker mtq_correct_marker' alt='Correct'><\/div><\/td><td class='mtq_answer_td'><div id='mtq_answer_text-2-5-1' class='mtq_answer_text'>Scotland<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><div id='mtq_question_explanation-2-1' class='mtq_explanation'><div class='mtq_explanation-label'>Question 2 :&nbsp;<\/div><div class='mtq_explanation-text'> <h1>Answer E.

As a Christian tradition it goes back to at least the 14th century, when it is mentioned by Chaucer. It is still commonplace in many Catholic countries, notably Ireland, where soul-cakes are left out for the departed.

False<\/h1>\r\n\r\nBetter think about hot dogs on July 4th. Candy Apples \u2014 the kind encased in a high-gloss scarlet shell that cracks under your teeth (and hopefully doesn\u2019t repay the favor) \u2014 were actually invented as a Christmas season treat.\r\n<p>\r\nThey\u2019re credited to William Kolb, a Newark, N.J. candy maker, who dipped apples into melted red cinnamon candies to create fetchingly festive objects for a window display all the way back in 1908. He meant to entice people into his shop to buy the actual candies that were his stock-in-trade, but they came in wanting the brilliant glazed apples themselves.\r\n<p>\r\nSo, he ramped up production and sold thousands of candy apples at five cents apiece. They became popular items all along the Jersey shore, and eventually, throughout the country.\r\n<p>\r\nThe cheerful crimson shine of candied apples certainly fits in with the Christmas color palette, but now that we\u2019ve come to associate them with Halloween, they just as easily evoke poison apples\u2019 sinister splendor, beautiful enough to tempt Snow White or anyone else.\r\n<p>\r\nAnd since apples come into season in fall, it makes sense that they\u2019d be popular around Halloween, especially once they\u2019re covered in candy (specifically, a mix of boiled sugar, corn syrup, water, and red food coloring that hardens as it cools on the surface of the dipped apples; cinnamon flavoring is often added too, to evoke the original flavor). Today, they are known as toffee apples outside North America. \r\n\r\n<hr><hr>\r\n<h2>MORE HALLOWEEN FUN<\/h2>\r\n<b>Bobbing for Apples<\/b>\r\nApple bobbing has been an autumn tradition for hundreds of years. Despite its presence at Halloween parties and festivals today, however, its origins are more rooted in love and romance than tricks and treats. In fact, it began as a British courting ritual, popular among young ladies and their potential beaus. There were several variations of game: In one set of rules, each apple was assigned to a potential mate. The bobber would then attempt to bite into the apple named for the young man she desired. If it only took her one try, they were destined for romance. If she succeeded with her second attempt, he would court her but their love would fade. If it took three tries, their relationship was doomed. Another approach to the game was a race to be the first to bite an apple; the first to emerge successful would be the first to marry. A related superstition suggested that if a girl put the apple she had bitten underneath her pillow, she would see her future soul mate in her dreams that night.\r\n<p>\r\nEventually, the game declined in popularity, and by the 1800s, it was common only in Ireland and certain areas of England. At the end of the century, though, Americans exploring their immigrant roots decided to bring back this Celtic fall tradition as a game for both children and adults at Halloween parties. Today, some parents may keep their kids away from the tub of apples for fear of spreading germs, but bobbing for apples is a comparatively safe tradition when compared to another old apple-centric Halloween pastime: Snap Apple. In the game of Snap Apple, an apple was speared on one end of a stick while a lit candle was fixed at the other end. The stick was spun around, and the participants\u2019 goal was to take a bite of the apple, avoiding a face full of hot candle wax\u2014definitely not a game to play with kids!\r\n<p>\r\n<h2>Kids Costumes for Halloween & Dress-up<\/h2>\r\n\r\nWhat will you be for Halloween this year?
