  1. Hallow Eve Night

    Share Share Post
    Halloweve night falls on the last day of October. On that night we keep up the old custom by playing some old games or tricks. The first thing we do is we hang up an apple out of the ceiling, then we tie our hands behind our backs, and snap at the apple.
