1. In America alone, ordinary citizens annually spend more than 2.5 billion dollars preparing for the holiday, and that’s without buying sweets.
2. Prestigious resorts and expensive hotels, which spend huge sums on the celebration and awarding of prizes, contribute to the “terrible” budget. For example, the biggest cash prize of 25,000 dollars, all in the same America, is given to whoever carves the most original jack-o-lantern from a pumpkin.
3.. Chocolate is more popular than caramel, although more expensive. So Halloween can be safely called a holiday of generosity. Perhaps, by giving out chocolates, people try to emphasize their material well-being.
4. The darkest Halloween in the whole world is considered to be in Mexico. Mexicans at this time celebrate the Day of the Dead, visit the graves of their ancestors. We are not talking about any fun.
5. The quietest Halloween in China. The local name of this holiday is Teng Chieh – “Ancestor Memorial Day”. Conservative Chinese gather at home in the family circle, and without costumes and loud parties, they honor the memory of the dead. They put food and light candles in front of their photos.
