<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">On the night of October 31 - November 1, people celebrate mystical Halloween! The traditions of its celebration are different in each country. It's most celebrated in the USA, Great Britain, and European countries. On this night, people stay awake and hold costume parades and parties in the style of "horror". We have selected the most interesting traditions for celebrating Halloween in different parts of the world! Let's start!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>USA</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">As we have already mentioned, that Halloween is a popular and long-awaited holiday in the USA. Before the celebration, Americans decorate their houses with bright pumpkin lanterns, figurines of skeletons, ghosts, vampires, witches, black cats, and artificial spider webs. Such decorations look very atmospheric! Jack's lamp, a pumpkin lantern in the form of a human head, is the main symbol of this "scary" holiday. By the way, many years ago people made this decoration from a turnip.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">In addition, it's hard to imagine American Halloween without themed masquerade costumes. Most of all, Americans like to dress up as monsters and scary characters from famous movies. Some Americans invite friends to watch their favorite horror movies in their homes.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">A tradition without which American Halloween cannot exist is called "Trick-or-treating". Children and teenagers in scary costumes walk around the houses, shouting "trick or treat", and expect to receive candy from house owners.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Great Britain</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Halloween is also one of the loudest and funniest nights in Great Britain when the whole country stays awake. This night the English traditionally decorate towns and villages with pumpkins and candles. They like to dress up in witch costumes with skeletons in their arms and walk the streets there. The British also love vampire and ghost outfits.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Ireland</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The spookiest festival of the year is back ?

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Dogs are not only faithful but also funny animals. These pets can cheer anyone up in seconds! We have selected 5 photos of the funniest dogs in the world!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>A dog also has the right to wear glasses</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=117726977749744833" height="779" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Some owners dress their pets in various costumes. A dog outfit can look glamorous, but sometimes it looks ridiculous! And since we have already mentioned clothes for animals, let's say a few words about how to choose them correctly. Choosing clothes for your pet, remember about few things. Clothing should be comfortable, not rub and not restrict the animal's movements. If it isn't possible to try on clothes, you need to take measurements correctly so as not to make a mistake with the size.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">However, some dog owners are very original. They even put accessories on pets, for example, funny glasses. Not sure if the animals themselves like it, but people around them are delighted!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>It’s so cute!</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=237424211597601650" height="550" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Look at this little miracle! Some owners decorate their dogs not only with clothes but also with funny hairstyles. It's simply impossible to pass by such beauty and not smile! We are sure that if you look at this dog's photo in the morning, a good mood for the whole day is guaranteed!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>An optimist dog</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=357262182951689884" height="469" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Who said dogs don't smile? Some of them are very good at it, and it looks so funny! By the way, you can teach a dog to smile! Keep the instructions. Talk to your dog with love and kindness. Your dog should be happy. Smile when talking or training your dog. Try not to show your teeth when you smile: dogs can interpret this gesture as an expression of anger or aggression. Show your pet how to smile using your thumb and forefinger. Gently pull both sides of the dog's mouth upwards to expose the dog's teeth. If you manage to teach the dog to smile, then we're waiting for a photo!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>It's scary to live!</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=180566266301351244" height="550" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Corgi is a special love! They are so funny. Just take a look at the dog's facial expression in the photo - a real artist!

Dogs want to be glamorous too! But if your dog is against such beauty experiments, we advise you not to disturb your pet.</p>
