Halloween is one of the anticipated events during the ‘BER months.
In an article published by history.com, Halloween is a time for celebration and superstition. Moreover, it was mentioned to have originated during the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, “when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts.” Hence, it became a universal tradition to watch scary movies, tell spooky stories, and attend trick or treat events.
But for most parents, this is a time for creative juices to flow like water.
