Halloween means “the night before All Saints’ Day.” Halloween is a holiday on October 31 that involves dressing up in costumes and trick-or-treating (knocking on doors to ask for candy).
Halloween costumes and Halloween sayings have traditionally been associated with death (e.g., ghosts and skeletons) because the holiday is celebrated the night before All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day–Christian holy days that honor saints and those who have passed. All Saints’ Day used to be called “All Hallows’ Day.”
The word “Halloween” is a contraction for the old English words “hallows” (saints) and “even” (evening). In some parts of the world, “Hallowe’en” has an apostrophe.
QuillBot’s free Paraphrasing Tool can help you polish your Halloween messages.
Trick or treat means “give me a treat, or I will play a trick on you.” It’s a traditional Halloween saying that children use when they knock on doors in costumes to ask for candy on Halloween night.
You can also use “trick or treat” as a verb (e.g., “We’re trick or treating with our cousins this year”).
“Trick or treater” is the noun for the children who trick or treat on Halloween.
The Halloween saying “trick or treat” originates from Irish and Scottish All Hallows’ Eve traditions from the Middle Ages, when young people dressed up in costumes and performed a trick (e.g., a joke or a song) for each household in exchange for a treat.
The Halloween saying “trick or treat” came about in the early 1900s in the United States after pranks and mischief had become common Halloween activities. By this time, children no longer exchanged antics for treats but rather offered each household the choice of giving treats or getting pranked.
QuillBot’s free Paraphrasing Tool can help you use Halloween sayings like “trick or treat” correctly.
You should capitalize the first letter of Halloween when you use this word in sentences or Halloween sayings. Because holidays like Halloween are proper nouns, they should always be capitalized.

We should buy extra Halloween candy in case we get a lot of trick or treaters.

The phrases nice to meet you and nice to see you have different meanings and audiences.
“Nice to meet you” is short for “It is nice to meet you.” The audience is a person whom you are currently meeting for the first time.
Teacher: Welcome, Carlos! Nice to meet you! I’m Mr. Davis. Please sit anywhere you’d like.
New student: Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Davis.
“Nice to see you” is a polite expression for a person you already know. When it’s used as a greeting, it means “It is nice to see you” (simple present tense). When it’s part of a farewell, it means “It was nice to see you” (past tense).

Party Guest: Later, Liz! Nice to see you!

Phrases like “e-meet” or “nice to virtually meet you” are unnecessary because the audience already knows that the correspondence is digital.
When you’re meeting someone for the first time over Slack, the tone is very important. Use QuillBot’s Slack Message Generator to craft the perfect message for your new coworker!

A QuillBot Grammar Check can help ensure you’re capitalizing words and phrases correctly.
If you are using Happy New Year as a standalone greeting for the holiday, then you should capitalize every word (e.g., “Happy New Year, friends!”). However, if you are referring to the new year more generally, you should not capitalize it (e.g., “Wishing you all a happy new year!”).

However, valentines (with no apostrophe) is correct when you are referring to cards that are sent on Valentine’s Day (e.g., “She has to bring 25 valentines for her class”).
QuillBot’s Grammar Checker can help you use Valentine’s or valentines correctly.
The US holiday is typically referred to as Presidents’ Day (with the apostrophe following the “s”). It celebrates the birthdays of both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, so the plural noun “presidents” is made into a possessive noun by adding an apostrophe to the end.

The end of Ramadan is called “Eid al-Fitr,” which translates from Arabic as “festival of the breaking of the fast.” Sometimes it is referred to simply as “Eid.”
The name comes from the fact that Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the month of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast. Eid al-Fitr lasts 1–3 days depending on location.

Eid al-Adha 2024 was Sunday, June 16th. It started at sunset on Saturday, June 15th. The Islamic calendar is lunar, so these dates may vary based on moon sightings in different locations.
Given that the Gregorian calendar is solar, the dates of Eid al-Adha in other years will be different.
Eid al-Adha means “Festival of Sacrifice” in Arabic. To translate Arabic terms to English, try QuillBot Translate.
The meaning of “Eid” in Arabic is “festival” or “celebration.”
The word “عيد,” romanized as “ʿīd,” is often translated as “Eid,” given that many English speakers are familiar with the concept.
There are two Eids: Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, which commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son to God.
If you want to translate other Arabic words, use QuillBot Translate.
The Islamic calendar, also known as the “Hijiri calendar,” has 12 months. Two examples are Ramadan and Dhu al-Hijjah, when Eid al-Adha takes place.
Since the Islamic calendar is lunar, its months change each year in relation to the Gregorian calendar (e.g., Ramadan can take place in May, June, July, etc.)
The names of the Islamic months have different meanings. For example, Dhu al-Hijjah means “the one of pilgrimage.”
To translate the names of months or other words in Arabic, try QuillBot Translate for free.
“Qurbani” (also known as “udhiyah”) is the sacrificial slaughter of an animal during the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha.
The qurbani commemorates how the Prophet Abraham was willing to slaughter his son out of obedience to God.
The qurbani typically involves a goat, sheep, or other livestock animal. It is an obligation for all Muslims who can financially afford it. After the sacrifice, the meat of the animal is distributed among the family, friends, and those in need.

Both “udhiyah” and “qurbani” translate as “sacrifice,” though with slightly different connotations. To translate more Arabic words, use QuillBot Translate for free.
Because Memorial Day is a day to remember and mourn those who have died while serving in the military, it is generally not considered appropriate to say “Happy Memorial Day.”
Instead, you could say, “Have a meaningful Memorial Day.” If you are reaching out to the family of a fallen service member, you could say “I am thinking of you this Memorial Day” or let them know that you are remembering their loved one.
If you are posting on social media, you could use a phrase like “Honoring the fallen this Memorial Day.” Additionally, you could include a Memorial Day quotation that emphasizes honor, sacrifice, or freedom.
Memorial Day is a day set aside to mourn and remember those who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May each year.
Veterans Day is dedicated to honoring anyone who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is observed on November 11 every year, which coincides with the anniversary of the end of World War I (also known as Armistice Day).
Armed Forces Day is a holiday set aside to thank those who are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. Armed Forces Day 2025 is May 17, 2025.
Although both are celebrated in May, Armed Forces Day is distinct from Memorial Day, which is a day dedicated to mourning and honoring those who died during their military service.
It is good night, not goodnight in formal writing. The expression “good night” is two words (e.g., “Good night, Dad! I’m going to bed now”).

When you’re writing good night wishes, the QuillBot Grammar Checker can help you spot common errors like “goodnight.”

It is “Veterans Day” (without an apostrophe) because “veteran” is a plural noun in this context. The apostrophe is incorrect because “veteran” is not a possessive noun. The holiday honors all of the veterans (plural). Only use “veteran’s” when you mean “belonging to one veteran”:
Have you tried QuillBot’s Grammar Checker for help with using plurals and possessives? They’re easy to confuse, but this free tool will help you get them right when you’re writing a Veterans Day message.
In most cases, you don’t say “Happy Veterans Day” when you’re greeting a veteran or writing a Veterans Day message. A veteran in this context is a person who served in active duty (e.g., in Iraq or Vietnam) and who received an honorable discharge. The holiday is for honoring sacrifices rather than festive celebrations.
Instead of “Happy Veterans Day,” say “thank you for your service,” or “I appreciate your sacrifice.”
When you’re writing a Veteran’s Day message, QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker will help you avoid errors.
