BR 3-3: Seasons and celebrations

In November, winter is near, and hundreds of years ago people thought that bad spirits, like ghosts, came in the winter. (p.24) 

Are you preparing for Halloween? All you have to do is dress up, share horrible sweats and play games. However, the origin of Halloween is not just the event, and have more meaningful story. I don't know why but in every country has an idea that cold season brings bad things. More interesting thing is to keep them away people imitate ghosts, witches and monsters. I've thought that they can get along with the bad spirits because people have also the same figures with bad things. By the way, what do you play? I want to try 'bobbing for apples,' In fall, many apples fall off the tree so people use them to enjoy playing game. The apples stay on top of the water and people struggle to catch them using their mouth. If you are interested in it, why don't you try it with your family?
