Halloween

I love Halloween. It’s on the 31st of October and this night witches fly through the air on their broomsticks. We always have a party.

My little brother, Michael, makes a funny face in a pumpkin. When it is dark, we put a candle inside the pumpkin. We always wear a fancy dress at our Halloween party. I love wearing my witch costume. I wear my mother’s long black dress and a tall pointed hat. I also have a broomstick. Michael usually wears a big white sheet and becomes a ghost. He runs around the house and shouts, “Ooooooooh!”

The party starts at seven o’clock. My friends all come in a fancy dresses. This year we’ve got five witches, three ghosts and one vampire! We play Halloween games. For example, we try to eat the apples which are in a big bowl of water, and we can’t touch them with our hands. It’s very difficult! And of course we have lots of sausages and crisps to eat.
