Halloween na!

In the spirit of the almost-here holiday, this post will be about -- Halloween! Ever wonder where "Halloween" came from? Got this online:

The word Halloween was first used in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows'-Even ('evening'), that is, the night before All Hallows' Day. In other countries, during the ancient times, this is also known as the festival of the dead, which starts as early as the 29th of October,and ends on the 3rd of November. Hallow's Eve could also mean the Eve of Halloween and Halloween is the Eve of All Saints' Day. Although the phrase All Hallows' is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not seen until 1556.

It will probably be party-everywhere tomorrow. And I'm sure a lot of you will be attending not just one party a night starting, perhaps tomorrow. So, enjoy Halloween guys!

(And the long weekend!)
