Long before there was candy in bags, kids there celebrated a fall festival with big, crackling bonfires. People still call this night by its old Irish name, Oiche Shamhna, which means \"the night of Samhain. \"  \nThose bonfires were not the only glow in the dark! Instead of pumpkins, children in Ireland and Scotland carved lanterns out of turnips, which are round, tough vegetables. They scooped out the middle, cut a scary face, and put a tiny light inside so it glowed on the doorstep.  \nA glowing turnip was fun, but going door to door was even better. Kids in old costumes would knock and do a trick, like sing a song or tell a joke, to earn a treat. This is called guising, because the children wore a disguise, or costume, to hide who they were.  \nAfter all that singing, everyone was hungry for a treat called barmbrack. Barmbrack is a sweet bread with raisins, and a small ring is hidden inside before it bakes.
