A Hat, Long Nose, and Screachey laugh

On International Laugh Like a Witch Day (ILLAWD), you can just smell and taste all the moisture in the air. ILLAWD is a day where you will be annoyed because everyone will be laughing like a witch with a high squeaky pitch. The streets of New York City will be lined with tall skinny hats that are black and cloaks that are black. This day takes place on October 30 to get people in the mood for Halloween.
About 17 years ago, someone named Jefery thought that there should be a holiday before Halloween. When he heard his friend's laugh, he thought it should be called International Laugh Like a Witch Day. So he immediately got on the case. He wrote to the newspaper about his idea--that tomorrow, October 30, the people of Des Moines should have this day to get in the spirit of Halloween. Three years after it became a holiday in Des Moines, it became a holiday in all 50 states. So every year, the day before Halloween you should laugh like a witch.
