Helter Skelter

Halloween basically comes from Ireland. It is a Celtic holiday that was to ward of ghosts (*thanks to google for the information). How did it blow up to be such an American sensation with candy, costumes and goblens galore. Pumpkins and apple cider are at least autumnal.  Western Christians brought the holiday to America and over time it has become what it is today and apparently what it is in Asia.

Below are some highlights of the holiday being marked here in Shanghai.
