It is October and it&rsquo;s Halloween time!</p> <p>Halloween is celebrated on the evening of October 31st, which is the evening before the Christian feast of All Saint&rsquo;s Day. Halloween&rsquo;s history goes back to the ancient religion of the Celtic tribes (circa 500 B.C.) from whom came the Britons, Scots and the Irish. Present day Britains, Scots, Welsh and Irish are all descendants from these ancient Celtic tribes.</p>
