Teeanti - Trick R Treat Halloween T-Shirt

Nowadays shops will sell themed candies and kids have parties where they masquerade. In a sense to us Halloween is a late fall reprise of Carnevale, a holiday that occurs right before the start of Lent, and during which we dress up and play pranks. It's essentially a commercial thing that very few people feel much affection for.

Halloween as we know it has been an exclusively American custom that only started spreading to the rest of the world since the 1960s. It is also-- contrary much pop disinformation and urban legend-- of fairly recent origin.

For example, trick-or-treating only goes back about a hundred years, and was the invention of CHRISTIAN YOUTH PASTORS and YMCA (Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association) youth leaders, who promoted it as a wholesome and less vandalistic alternative to Mischief Night. Once Trick-or-Treating became tame, mothers ruined it for older boys by telling them to take their younger siblings along, and it thereafter became a little-kids' activity, and the dark clothes, hoods, and masks were replaced with more flamboyant, fantastic costumes.

The American Halloween grew out of Mischief Night and the Scottish Hallow' een of Scotch-Irish Americans. In fact in the latter 1800s, it was known exclusively in America as "a Scottish Halloween", and was originally only engaged in by Rednecks (Scotch-Irish settlers), but it became something of a fad-- that endured-- among their better-healed Waspish neighbors in small town America of the Great Lakes, Upstate New York, and New England, becoming increasingly popular after 1880.
