Halloween（万圣节前夕）is an autumn holiday that American celebrate every year. It means “holy（神圣的）evening”, and it comes every October 31st, the evening before All Saints’ Day（万圣节）. However, it’s not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins（南瓜）. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put lights inside. It looks like there is a person looking out of the pumpkin!

The children also put on strange masks（面具）and frightening clothes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters（怪物）. They carry boxes for UNICEF（联合国儿童基金会）. They ask for money to help poor children all around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat（款待）for themselves, too.
