All Saints' Day, or All Hallow's Eve, began as an ancient Celtic and later a Roman harvest festival. When the Irish immigrated to the United States in the1800's, they brought with them a Halloween tradition of lighting candles in turnips to keep spirits at bay. Finding turnips in short supply in America, however, they began carving pumpkins and thus the Jack-O-Lantern was born.

Signs You Are Too Old to Be Trick or Treating

* You get winded from knocking on the door.
* When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.
* When the door opens you yell, "Trick or..." and can't remember the rest.
* You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.

Enjoy your day.
