- All Hallow's Eve is one of the three great feasts of the year. On this night we get apples and nuts to eat.
Long ago the people ate bread called boxty on All Hallow's Eve. We have games on All Hallow's Eve night. One of these games is Blind Man's Buff.
Some boys play tricks on All Hallow's Eve night. Some of the tricks they do is to take away a card and hide it, and some of the people believe that it was a wee folk who took it away.
I do not believe in wee folk. I think that All Hallow's Eve is the best feast of the year.
All Hallow's Eve is not a holiday, but the day after it is a holiday.- Collector
