Better give a treat that's good to eat

So when ghosts and goblins by the score

Ring the bell on your front door

And if you want your gate to circulate

Ho ho! We can do that too!

Gandhi

Mohandas Gandhi is one of the most famous leaders for justice in the world. His firm belief in non-violence has been followed by many other important civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. Mohandas Gandhi is often called Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma is a term that means Great Soul.

Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 in Porbandar, India. He came from an upper class family and his father was a leader in the community. As was tradition where he grew up Mohandas' parents arranged a marriage for him at the age of 13.

His parents wanted him to become a lawyer. As a result, when he was 19 years old he went to London to attend the University. Three years later he returned to India and after moved to South Africa to work. It was in South Africa where Gandhi would experience racial prejudice against Indians and would begin his work in civil rights.

Once back in India, Gandhi led the fight for Indian independence from the British Empire. He organized non-violent civil disobedience campaigns. Gandhi was put in prison several times for organizing these protests.

Gandhi was murdered on January 30, 1948. He was shot by a terrorist at a public prayer meeting in New Delhi, India .

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

An old, free version of The legend of Sleepy Hollow by ComiColor:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a fictional reindeer with a glowing red nose. He is popularly known as "Santa's 9th Reindeer" and, when depicted, is the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. The luminosity of his nose is so great that it illuminates the team's path through inclement winter weather.

The following is a version of Rudolph' famous carol by Destiny's Child:

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen,
Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down In history!

The Kingdom of Witches

The Kingdom of Witches

At the end of the world

On an island alone,

Lies a city of secrets,

Mortar and stone.

Surrounded by serpents,

Spirits and spells,

The Kingdom of Witches

In mystery dwells.

Through the dungeons and ditches,

Strange shadows and lights

Fill the nooks and the niches

With unearthly sights.

Sultans and sages

From Karth and Darbeen,

Seek the counsel and favor

Of the Witch King and Queen.

Squadrons of crones

On brooms to and fro,

Fly cackling on errands

To the city below.

Each witch house and hut

Holds thrills, chills, and frights,

And plots, pits, and perils,

On long witchy nights.

So, if you would learn

Of each hex, curse, and potion,

And the march of the dead

At the end of the ocean

Then set you a course

To where no compass tells,

And the Kingdom of Witches

In mystery dwells.

One day, he takes a walk into the woods and discovers some trees with different doors representing various holidays. The Christmas Tree door attracts his attention so he comes into the world of Christmas. Christmas Town is amazing to Jack, so he decided to share it with the citizens of Halloween Town, and they decide to make their own Christmas celebration.  The problem is that they can't get it quite right...
