About Halloween

Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays worldwide, observed across many cultures and traditions. From family gatherings and festive meals to special customs — preparations often begin weeks in advance.

Did You Know?
  • The United States has 11 federal holidays, while India has the most public holidays of any country, with over 20 nationally recognized holidays each year.
  • The tradition of countdowns to holidays dates back centuries. Advent calendars, first popularized in 19th-century Germany, are one of the earliest countdown traditions still practiced today.
  • Studies show that the anticipation of a holiday can boost happiness even more than the event itself. Planning ahead is not just practical — it is scientifically proven to improve well-being.
  • Many holidays around the world are tied to astronomical events like solstices and equinoxes, connecting modern celebrations to ancient observations of the night sky.
