Happy Halloween this Sunday!!!

I know, right! I am not really into Halloween but it just means that we are closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been on.. I've been busy with school. But guess what! In middle school at my school (not saying my school's name-), the middle schoolers get to have a dance at the end of each quarter! My dance is this Friday and we got to request songs. We can't wear costumes, but we can wear the headband. My first dance was supposed to be last year- but I was online. I'm really excited! :) Also what are you guys being for halloween? I'm being an angel. I hope you guys have a great day/night/afternoon! Byee~

A dance? I must be somewhere far from where I live

That sounds fun! I was Velma Dinkley for Halloween

please follow me as i have not much followers, and if you do, i'll follow you too!

HELLO DEAR FELLOWS! Halloween is about! Do you know what to do? perhaps scream, or shout? Prepare for the spooks, the spine chilling fear, because you know that HALLOWEEN IS NEAR!!!

Oh wow! I love that your poem rhymes!! Did you make it up yourself?

If you did, I am super impressed. (And if you didn't, I am still impressed!) 😉

Ghostly greeting everyone! Halloween is almost here and I'll be telling you all some fun facts about Halloween (but Number 6 is the origin of Halloween)! 1. "Jack o'lantern" comes from the Irish legend of Stingy Jack. 2. Candy corn was originally called Chicken Feed (Me: No wonder most people hate it). 3. The most lit jack o'lanterns on display is 30,581. 4. Halloween folklore is full of fortune-telling and magic. 5. The most popular Halloween costume is the Witch (second is the Rabbit, and third is the Dinosaur). 6. The origins of Halloween date back 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated on October 31 on the eve of their new year, according to the History Channel. The Celts believed that the dead returned to earth that night, and so they lit bonfires and donned costumes to ward off the ghosts.

Very cool!
