Halloween

The symbol of Halloween here in the USA, the carved out happy face pumpkin.

On Friday it is Halloween here in the USA. It is a widely celebrated fun event. People don't get a day off but take their kids to a "trick or treat" walk through the neighbourhood. Some people spend a lot of time in preparing their yard. We'll take pics this Friday and I will post hem this weekend.
form wikipedia:
Halloween (or Hallowe’en) is an international holiday celebrated on October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and occasionally in parts of Australia. In Sweden the All Saints' official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November.

Halloween


Tomorrow Wednesday, October 31st, it is Halloween. This is a very important day for the Americans. We'll be trick or treating with Naomi, Skyler and Zane. A lot of pics will follow tomorrow. We don't have a day off but in 3 weeks it is Thanksgiving and then we'll have 2 days off.
PS: To remember the dead, in Mexico they all go to the cemetary and have a big party on their grave. This lasts past midnight, pretty scary.
