Halloween: The Festival Loved By All

When we say Halloween, what pops into your head? Pumpkins and costumes, treats and spooky houses, right? Everything and anything that movies show, isn't it? Comedy thrillers from the ’90s have had a big hand in shaping our perceptions about this interesting festival. Well, Halloween is not just kids trick-or-treating and decked up houses made to look spooky. It’s a lot more than that; it is a tradition that is deeply ingrained in the urban ethos of the west.

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening) also known as All Saints' Eve is a celebration observed across the globe on the 31st of October, the eve of the Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It is a three-day observance which honours the dead, particularly saints, martyrs, and the faithful who have departed the physical realm. And although Halloween is a Christian holiday with Pagan roots, over the years it has transformed into a fun occasion transcending all boundaries of religion, age, nationality, time and more.

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, going to Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, playing pranks, lighting bonfires, divination games, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, as well as watching horror films. The aura around this time of the year is mystical with a pinch of spooky. Gifts and treats are a significant part of the Halloween culture, and we want to ensure that your Halloween gifting is always on point.
