Parents and children gather at a pumpkin patch a week before Halloween at the Happy Day School on Monterey Park, California, on October 25, 2012, where children were able to choose and bring home a pumpkin to carve into a jack-o-lantern. Celebrated on October 31 worldwide, Halloween is an abbreviated form of the original name All Hallow's Eve, observed yearly on the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows, also known as All Saints Day. Festive Halloween activities for children include trick-or-treating, dressing up in costumes and carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns. AFP PHOTO / Frederic J.
