GETTING READY FOR HALLOWEEN

October 31st is Halloween. Where does Halloween come from? The Celts lived in Britain, Ireland and parts of France over 2,000 years ago, and October 31st was the end of their year. The Celts believed that ghosts came back to earth on this day. Today many people around the world celebrate this old festival - but today people usually have parties, dress up, and tell spooky stories about witches, skeletons, bats and ghosts.

 Have some Halloween fun!

    COLUMBUS DAY

    Columbus Day became an official United States federal holiday in 1970. "Since 1971, the holiday has been commemorated in the U.S. on the second Monday in October, the same day as Thanksgiving in neighboring Canada. Many states and cities with large Native American populations do not recognize Columbus Day or celebrate "Indigenous People's Day" or "Native American Day" instead. Many countries celebrate Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World under the names Día de la Raza (Day of the Race) or Day of the Cultures, Day of the Americas, Discovery Day, Spanish Day (Spain), or Día de la Resistencia Indígena (Day of Indigenous Resistance - Venezuela).
