Last Friday and Saturday there were a lot of posts going on about Halloween. People were so excited about this festivity which I do not have back in my country. Everyone was so excited to go to parties and dress up but mostly drink. It is obvious that my drinking habits are not even as close as the ones Americans have. what mostly makes me happy to see are all those children going around trick or treating and coming back home full of candy. I honestly would like to go out and do that even if my age just because i did not have the chance to do it when i was a child.
Of course dressing up as fascinating characters and fantastic heroes is also one of my favorite things. I really enjoyed the fairy costume the blogger, to whom i reply to, has posted. She definitely has a creative side in making costumes. The closest festival we have to Halloween is the carnival which takes place around march. we have the chance to dress up and go out to the streets and party while seeing others with their fantastic costumes. There are a lot of parades going on in the country and almost in every city and everybody is dancing to the music and having fun with their friends and family. Sometimes they can get really wild though but i guess it is normal. But it is always so much fun. I suppose it is always fun when it is a holiday no matter what the holiday is about.

I never trick or treated when I was younger because my mother said it wasn't saf3e and she didn't agree with the holiday. As i have gotten older i realized, especially in college kids, that gils just use it as another excuse to be half naked, and guys to behave rediculously.
that is the today's concept. I prefer to think it as I would do it. with a witch costume (the ugly version not the sexy one) and returning home exhausted from trick or treating with a bunch of candies!
I am a total sucker for halloween. I grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood, where everyone knew each other. My house was at the end of the street, so we were usually the last stop before home. I remember one of my neighbors would take the smaller kids around in a wagon filled with hay hitched to his tractor, and then my mother made cinnamon donuts and warm apple cider for the whole neighborhood. Halloween is filled with fun, silliness, warm community thoughtfulness, and a pleasant escape from reality in my mind. It is still my favorite holiday.
And yes, I am including Christmas.
