Well, since we are a day ahead of the USA Halloween has come and gone. For the record Halloween is celebrated even less than in England (last year Olivia & I went to the Oxford Ballet Halloween night), but there was Halloween candy at the stores.
This year, there was no candy in the stores, no costumes (these princess dresses were b-day gifts
(dress-up) from the Swinton grandparents), but there were pumpkins with directions on "how to carve a pumpkin" at the stores. Most people don't know how to carve a pumpkin (not to mention pumpkins are NOT seasonal since we are going into spring here). Trick or treating is a mystery--One US friend over here had a meeting with all her neighbors and tried to explain trick or treating. Questions afterward were "what do we give them at the door?" "can I give them a game if I don't have any candy?" etc...Olivia &
Mary, were the only kids dressed up all day and while we went to catch a train to attend a Halloween party everyone on the streets was pointing at them. I told the girls to respond by saying "Happy Halloween" but that only got the response of "what is that?" or "You know we don't celebrate that holiday in Australia!"
