AUTUMN When the trees

their summer splendor change to raiment red

and gold, When the summer moon

turns mellow, and the nights

are getting cold;

When the squirrels hide

their acorns, and the woodchucks

disappear;

Then we know that it is autumn, Loveliest season

of the year.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2021 will occur on Sunday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day

incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain.

The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick -or-

treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive

gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

Halloween Humor

What do you call two witches sharing an apartment?

Broommates.

What did the mother ghost say to the baby ghost as they drove down the street?

Buckle your sheet belt!

Why are ghosts so bad at telling lies?

Because you can see right through them.

What did the fisherman say on Halloween?

Trick or trout.
