Happy Halloween ! 👻🍭

 Hiya everybody (Cosma😂) !

 Happy Halloween ! How are you doing ? It is long since autumn in Paris, but where I live it is pretty hot all year long, and (I never thought I'd say this) I really want it to be gloomy and windy 😭 !!  I want to drink hot chocolate and wrap myself in a cosy blanket, but if I do that here, I will probably melt.

Today (as you must know) is Halloween ! A day dedicated to sweets and scary costumes, which sounds a bit like younger me's dreams. Did you know Halloween used to be a Celtic harvest festival called Samhain (Pronounced by the Gaelic as SAH-win) ? Yes, it's true, Halloween originated 2000+ years ago as a religious festival with bonfires and costumes to ward off ghosts. It was held on November 1st because people believed that on this day, souls of the dead would return to their homes, hence the costumes and bonfires.

Also, Halloween isn't actually an American festival. The practices were, most likely brought to America by Irish and Scottish immigrants, who traditionally celebrate this. This is because Halloween was actually started in pre-Christian Ireland. That's right ; The land of Leprechauns and the Weasley's hair is also responsible for Halloween. It was celebrated in medieval Ireland as the start of a new year (don't ask how November is a "new year", That's just what Wikipedia said).

Obviously, Halloween has evolved into a very different celebration. 

 A day where you scare people and take sweets from strangers (pretty weird if you ask me😂). Last year, I was Hermione Granger, and even if my costume looked TERRIBLE, I had so much fun. What were you for Halloween ? Anyways, thanks for reading my mini Wikipedia page on Halloween, happy Halloween !

    Heyyy ! I love your article ! And thanks for the history lesson 😜(just joking)
    Did you know that in Hong Kong, instead of asking for sweets, the kids actually hand out to other kids some candies ! It's so sweet 💖Happy Halloween, even if you don't feel cold 🎃(it's soooo gloomy out here, but I guess I do prefer this instead of sunshine;))

My Wishlist 🎄

Hi everyone ! How are you? Today I'm going to share my Christmas wishlist with you and I would love if you could tell me a part of yours in the comments. You may think I'm a bit crazy (which I am) for doing this, but even though it is 29 degrees outside I still wanted to make a hot chocolate and turn the fan on to make a winter simulation. And it's delicious 🤣. I have made up my mind on 3 things I wanted because I was doing a lot of thinking about it and these were the top 3 . Btw- I finished my hot chocolate and the last part was extremely bitter because apparently I don't know how to stir a glass of milk  5. Barbie Movie Poster - I watched this movie this year (see my first post) and I really loved it. I kind of wanted to have a bit of a "poster wall" in my bedroom but so far I only have 1 Harry Potter poster. I thought this would be a nice edition because it's a film that came out this year so it would be a nice way to end 2023. I don't know where

  Hi guys !  How are you? I'm fine, seeing as it's the end of year, we have more tests than ever. It is what it is. This weekend was pretty boring, we had Chinese food, did homework and read (Anne Frank's diary; it's pretty good). My mum and I really love watching films, we seriously think there should be a Holy Shrine of Movies. Anyways, I love Tom Cruise (amongst MANY others), he's great. So  we're trying to watch as many Tom Cruise films as possible, and I'm going to write about some. We watched a 1992 film called A few good men and I'm gonna write about it today. Let's go!
