Halloween

I thought that Halloween was an American celebration but I was completely wrong as it has its roots in the traditions of the Christian and Gaelic cultures. tradition .
There are different theories regarding its origin about it, but seems the most logical seems to be that it is a Christian tradition influenced by Celtic harvest festivals with which had possible pagan roots such as particularly the Gaelic festival of Samhain.
What a big mistake from myself, I was born in Galicia, a region in the northwest of Spain that has we have an important been influenced of by both Celtic and Gaelic cultures. like We are located on in the shore of Northwest Peninsula , we and were invaded by many armies people from the north of Europe including the as Celts and the Vikings, and we still retain have some traditions from these cultures.
I´m not interested in traditions in addition, which I don´t like as I believe think that in many times occasions on behalf of traditions they cause us to act in a way that is not normal. we do a big aberration, but now However, when I wanted to write about Halloween, I discovered several interesting stories about the festival of Samhain and how in many towns in Galicia have resurrected recovered the these old traditions.
In Spain, we used to celebrated All Hallows Eve, but now since Halloween was is introduced , little by little especially in the young people find  essential why it is more fun and interesting. and it´ll be imposed in three or five years, is life, ones traditions be imposed on others, it happens nothing (the meaning of this phrase is unclear) 
The tradition of All Hallows Eve in our country was to attending church services, lighting candles , visit the graves of the dead and carry flowers to them. It is was the day to remember our dead and at night we to gather meet with our family and eat roast chestnuts, and sweet potato and above all the fantastic mini pastries make of almond, sweet potato, potato and pine nuts.
Now, I hope that you can understand why we can´t compete in the global world with the new tradition of American Halloween which involves of dressing up in costumes, going to the parties, walking along by streets dressed up like a witch, ghost, etc , . Only one part of our tradition is better, the food, and of course, we have united joined Halloween with Spanish food which is great.
