Eve
Many of you probably know the word "eve", from "Christmas Eve" or "New Year's Eve". Did you know that "Halloween" was also originally "All Hallow's Eve"? Yes, there are many "eves" amongst the holidays of the English-speaking world. I suppose "All Hallow's Day" is November 1st, then, though we don't celebrate anything on that day anymore. Maybe people used to do something then!
