22【YumiMETAL】🎃What is Halloween?

Currently, young Japanese people get excited about Halloween costumes. But wait... What exactly is Halloween? It sounds familiar but I'm not really sure, so I researched it. According to the article, Celts (currently Irish) had a tradition which celebrates the fall harvest and use costumes to drive away evil spirits. In the 19th century, many Irish immigrated to the United States, so it spread there. Tokyo Disneyland held an event which adapted Halloween culture to Japan. After that, it spread all over the place in Japan in the late 90's. Also social media helped it become even more popular in more recent years. Japanese tend to focus on the cosplay and costumes aspect, and it doesn't have any religious meaning . I guess most Japanese don't know about the roots. I also would have never known if I hadn't written a monologue about it. Anyway, what is Christmas? Isn't it Jesus Christ's birthday? It's not just the day Santa Claus gives gifts, is it? I really should find out what exactly Christmas is... ————————— 🗣Do you study English? Join our club! And why not read your monologue.
