Happy Halloween and Happy Trick or Treating to all of you who celebrate it in your country! Have a blast! (Don't overdo it with those candies!....Oh! OK, overdo it! It's once a year, right?!)
Unfortunately, we don't have Halloween in Greece even though all the kids seem to at least know something about it, thanks to Nickelodeon and other cartoon channels and movies.
In Greece we have the Carnival which is somewhat similar even though the emphasis is not on scary stuff and there's no trick or treating. If you want to find out more about it check out an old post of mine here!

Carnival looks like fun, Vicky, but there's nothing like Halloween for American kids. When else can you ring any and every doorbell and be given candy? My kids have outgrown it but I'll still love answering the door and seeing all those adorable little witches and supermen!
ReplyDeletemy kids got enough candy to last until Christmas.
ReplyDeletehappy Halloween!
Carnival actually sounds a little better than Halloween. I don't like the scary stuff! Although, I would miss the trick-or-treating. Or would have when I was kid. I have eaten far too much candy over the past week because of this holiday! :o)
ReplyDeleteCarnival sounds like fun, but Halloween here is almost a real holiday. A lot of time is invested in finding the right costumes, not just for kids, but sometimes for the adults as well. Many people say that Halloween is their favorite holiday! Schools have parties, where the kids dress up and bring candy, and finally the big night, when the kids go door-to-door, yelling trick or trick for candy.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite the experience, and probably very similar to Carnival!
Carnival! How fun. Your pictures always tell such a nice story. We are in for the warmest Halloween here in a long time. I'm actually looking forward to sitting on the porch and handing out candy. I'm looking forward even more, to all of the chocolate my kids will be bringing home! Ha! I'll eat a few for you, Vicki. I'm that kind of giver. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! Thank you Michelle!
ReplyDeletehappy Halloween! We don't really have Halloween here, either – but I know a few kids will probably try going around trick or treating anyway, so I got some candy to distribute :-)
