day.unfortunately,most things that people dont understand can become fearful.the biggest misunderstanding about halloween is that it is a day for devil worship.halloween is now celebrated on october 31 as a costume and candy holiday,but those traditions have actual meanings in history.october 31 was celebrated as a holiday with great festivals because it marks the end of the harvest season.it also marks the end of the lighter half of the year and the beginning of the darker half of the year,because the light of the day gets shorter and the dark of the night gets longer.in ancient cultures,this was a really meaningful event.also it is believed that on this day,the veil between the worlds(the dead and the living) is at its thinnest point and that the spirits can most easily pass through it.it is a very special day to honor spirits.many people in ancient times,believing that the dead would walk among us,became fearful and so designed strange costumes to fool the dead,which was where the tradition of halloween costumes came from.besides,because halloween marks the beginning of the darker half of the year,many people saw that as evil and became frightened and therefore had such negative associations with this time of year.halloween,for me,is a deeply personal holiday.it is a time to reflect on the spiritual nature of myself.it is a day to reconnect to the magical things in life,such as how the love that i feel for my grandmother,who passed away over ten years ago,is still as strong now when i think of her as it ever was when i could be with her in person.my husband and i exchanged our wedding vows on halloween because i couldnt think of a more meaningful or romantic day to pledge our love and life to each other.1.in ancient times,people celebrated october 31

best to keep away from the town of bunol around this time of the year.thats because every year on the last wednesday of august,the normally sleepy spanish town of just 9,000 residents becomes the center stage for the worlds largest food fightthe la tomatina.the roots of the festival could be traced back to the year 1944 when some young people decided to disturb a parade they were not allowed to participate in.they did that by attacking everyone with the first produce they could get from the nearby vegetable vendors(摊贩).luckily for all,it happened to be tomatoes.the kids had so much fun that they kept returning every year and soon other bystanders joined in and a fun festival was born!over the years,the town has turned the food fight into a week-long festival that includes colorful parades,dancing and even fireworks.on the night before it ends,the streets of bunol,spain are lined up with vendors cooking up giant pans of delicious tomato paella(肉菜饭) on wood-burning fires.tourists and locals gather to enjoy the good food and drinks until the early next morning.as the time for the fight draws near,thousands of people flock to the plaza mayor.this year so many people wanted to take part in it that town officials decided to limit the number of people and charge a fee of about $13 usd.after the tomato fight started,within a few minutes the entire town square and the people in

result is that you wake up the next day feeling like a role of the walking dead.here are four ways you can adjust your biology in order to pay less for staying up.move around.exercising before bed is a sure way to keep awake.thats why you shouldnt do it when you want to go to sleep,and it is also why hitting the gym,or even some fast push-ups can tell your body that its not time for bed.being
