Festival time!

2007年11月5日 (月)

Well, last week was Halloween- I hope everyone enjoyed making those jack-o-lanterns and wearing pointy witch hats! Modern Halloween comes from America, but originally this festival was celebrated in Scotland and Ireland. In olden times, Halloween was a little like Obon in Japan. For us Englsih however, today (November 5th) is a special day- Bonfire Night! Tonight millions of English people will make giant fires and burn “guys” on top. Also, lots of fireworks will be let off. Great times!
