🎃 This is Halloween 🎃[IT-EN]
Festa dalle origini ambigue, c'è chi sostiene che derivi dalla dea romana dei semi e dei fruttichiamata "Pompona", chi invece alla "Parentalia" cioè alla festa dei defunti, ma la più accreditata è che sia la festa celtica di fine estate dello "Samhain".
Ormai è una festa internazionale, dove i bambini girano vestiti da mostri di casa in casa a chiedere caramelle alla gente suonando al campanello e chiedendoli con la famosissima frase: Dolcetto o scherzetto?
Personalmente non l'ho mai festeggiata se non per scopi puramente ludici e come scusa per uscire di casa a far festa con gli amici, anche se da qualche anno a questa parte non l'ho mai più molto considerata.
Resta il fatto che per l'ambientazione "lugubre" sia sempre stata da me molto apprezzata e l'ho sempre trovata divertente, nonostante sia l'ennesima scusa per far guadagnare un po' di soldi ai produttori di costumi, zucche e caramelle; ma d'altronde quale festa non lo è?
Fatte queste considerazioni non mi resta che augurare a tutti voi Steemians:
Steem on Halloween!

An festivity from ambiguous origins, there are those who claim that it derives from the Roman goddess of the seeds and fruits named "Pompona", who instead of "Parentalia" the festivity of deceased, but the most acclaimed that is the end of Celtic summer the festivity of "Samhain".
It is now an international festivity, where children are dressed in home-made monsters to ask candy to the people by ringing at the bell and asking that with the famous phrase: trick or treat?
Personally, I have never celebrated it for purely playful purposes and as an excuse to go out with friends, even though from very long time I have never considered it anymore.
The fact remains that the "gloomy" atmosphere has I always really appreciated it and always found it fun, despite being the next excuse to earn some money for costumes, pumpkins and candies factories; but which festivity isn't?
Having these considerations, I wish to all you Steemians:
Steem on Halloween!
