Every autumn， when the vegetables are ready to eat， children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin！ These lights are called jack-o'-lanterns， which means "Jack of the lantern".
The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house， they say，"Trick or treat！ Money or eat！" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.
Not only children， but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day，they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young. 附：万圣节诗歌
Fire red, summer‘s dead,
Yet shall it return.
Clear and bright in the night,
Burn, fire, burn!
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year‘s aturning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallowstime,
When the fire‘s burning.
Fire glow, vision show
Of the heart‘s desire,
When the spell‘s chanted well
Of the witching fire.
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year‘s aturning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallowstime,
When the fire‘s burning.
Fire spark, when nights are dark,
Makes our winter‘s mirth.
Red leaves fall, earth takes all,
Brings them to rebirth.
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year‘s aturning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallowstime,
When the fire‘s burning.
Fire fair, earth and air,
And the heaven‘s rain,
And blessed be, and so may we, At Hallowstide again.
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year‘s aturning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallowstime,
When the fire‘s burning.
