Today, Americans spend an estimated 6.900.000.000 dollar on Halloween, witch makes it the 2nd largest commercial holiday (X-Mas = on 1). Sales and big deals every where ... let the dollar roll !!A lot of people think that Halloween is something typical American, something invented for commercial purposes ... well ... they think defenitely wrong. In the good old colonial days, it were European immigrants who brought this Celtic tradition to the home of the brave and the land of the free. Ahaaaa !!
On the night of Oct 31, the Celts celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the gosts of the dead came back to earth. Booooohhhh ...
