ORIGINS OF HALLOWEEN

Two thousand years ago, the people of France and England were Celtic. They were afraid of the night of October 31st because they used to thing evil spirits came out that night since October 31st was the day they had "Samhain", which is the ceremony of the dead. During the Samhain ceremony, the druids, who were members of the priestly class, held cruel rituals, burning the prisoners, criminals and live animals. The druids claimed they could predict the future through dead animals.

Later, the Romans invaded the land of the Celtics. The Romans celebrated holiday called "Feralia" in October, which was held in the honour of the dead. After a long period of time, the Roman and Celtic holidays were combined into a whole new holiday.

About four-hundred years after the birth of Jesus Christ, a new religion, called Christianism was developed. The Christians tried to get rid of this Roman and Celtic holiday because they considered this evil. Finally, the English Christians transformed the holiday into "All Hallow Eve" which was celebrated on November 1st. The All Hallow Eve was for honour the dead Christians.

However, the Celtic tradition continued even after the new Christian holiday. On October 31st night, in certain villages of Scotland, people put food in front of their doors for the spirits that came out that night. This is where the tradition of dressing up as ghosts and asking for candies derived from.

Halloween came to the United States when European immigrants "brought their varied Halloween customs with them". In the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants from Ireland. By combining Irish and English traditions, Americans began the "trick-or-treat" tradition. In the later 1800's the holiday became more centered on community and in the 1920's and 1930's, Halloween became "a secular, but community-centered holiday". This all led to what Halloween actually is like today.

THANKSGIVING DAY

The only difference between Canadian Thanksgiving and American Thanksgiving is that Canadians celebrate on the second Monday of October, while the Americans celebrate it on the fourth Thursday of November. This is because the Americans have a tradition of remembering the Pilgrims (A person who travels to a sacred place for religious reasons or someone who travels on long journeys) and settling in the New World. However, the Canadians give thanks for successful harvest season, which falls earlier than US for Canada is located further north.

The origin of Canadian Thanksgiving is linked more to the tradition of Europe, rather than American traditions. When Martin Frobisher, an English explorer, arrived in Newfoundland in 1578, he held a formal ceremony in thanks for his safe arrival in North America. He followed the tradition of Europe, where the festival of thanks and celebrations of harvest took place in October. This is considered the very first Canadian Thanksgiving.

For hundred years, Thanksgiving in Canada was celebrated on either late October of early November. In 1879, the Parliament declared that Thanksgiving Day should be celebrated on November 6th. However, after the World War I, the official date for Thanksgiving was moved to the 2nd week of October because of Remembrance Day, which was on November 11 and kept on falling in the same week.

My family and I, we celebrate Thanksgiving Day because we're Christian. Most of my friends have a grand dinner or fly across the country to visit their family and relatives. However, we don't have magnificent supper or a family gathering because Thanksgiving Day isn't commonly celebrated in Korea and all the relatives live in Korea. We tried turkeys 2 years earlier for Thanksgiving dinner, but we decided to replace it with chicken for all my family members agreed that chickens taste better. We pray out of gratitude at the table before supper and watch some movies after. Though it's very simple, I like the way we celebrate it because we don't get as much time to spend as a family.
