Post #5: Halloween

Well this last Halloween was not really fun for me.  First I couldn't go to Halloween Party that day because I had to work, then took me almost three hours to go home when normally take me no more than two hours, and my feet almost frozen because we had windchill that night it was cold, but despite of that I was able to have a free coffee at the Starbucks, so it was not too bad.  But no all the years are bad for me.  In the last four years, me, my friends and their children used to go to the malls or around their houses to ask for candies enjoy watching the exotic costumes people wear.  It is pretty funny see how many people strive to decorate their house as eccentric as they can.  In Peru we don't put too much attention doing that.  We just celebrate in our houses or in some public places but not at all so, it is not common find children wearing costumes on the streets.  I know it is kind a bored.  Halloween is used more in TV programs.  Predictions?, we know about it but we don't believe in those.   In fact, we are divided between two celebrations.  One is Halloween and the other one it is The Day of our Traditional Music "Dia de la Cancion Criolla" we call that.  Those events take place at the same day and the day after is "The Day of the Death" and it is a statutory holiday for us.  That is why is not too strong the Halloween concept in my country.
