We dress up as ghosts, ghouls and evil spirits. We also make masks and jack o'lanterns. Jack o'lanterns are pumpkin heads carved into evil faces. Some people put candles in them to make them glow. For weeks children have collected firewood and tyres for the bonfires.
People have parties in their houses and play games.
Brack is a cake that is only eaten around Halloween time. We like to eat fruit and nuts as well. People put money in a basin of water and children try to fish it out with their mouths and without using their hands. Usually people prefer a treat, so the children sing a song or recite a poem. In some parts of Ireland, especially in the countryside people used to steal gates from people's houses.
