Hi,

We have Day of the Dead on November 2., so it's considered inappropriate to go and have fun on the same weekend :-/

Tell them we have "farsang", end of winter, not just a single date but a whole "costume party season"! The difference being costumes are regarded as an opportunity to be creative with your wardrobe and rugs and stuff, and the most clever home made costume will draw the most awe, not the most lifelike store-bought one.
And no trick-or-treating.

There's also April 1. fool's day, it's all tricks, but no treat.

Treats are on Easter, when you dress up nice, take a bottle of cologne, and knock on the doors of your female relatives and acquaintances, tell them silly jingles involving watersplashing and red bunny eggs, and get candy. Or highly concentrated alcohol :-/


If there is a revolution brewing, count me in though, my kids are 5 and 9 :-)

I know they don't do Halloween here, and I'm kind of bummed, too - I'm 25, but I still like to dress up!  I was wondering if there were any groups of fun-loving Americans who might want to throw a Halloween party, but I know if I ask, someone will suggest I plan it myself!  I'd do it in a heartbeat at home, but here I don't have any room to do it, I don't know many American people, and I'm too busy with school to do it all myself.  But I have my ears perked if anyone hears about some Halloween Happenings through the grapevine.

By the way, I'd even help throw a party for the kids, but I'd have no idea where to start.  Give me a venue and some serious participants, and I'll be glad to rally!

Thats a tough one, with the kids.  Last year I know they had some parties in the city but it was just for adults I go to my friends house and we carve pumpkins and go to the sausage festival.  I totally wish I could be more help!!  I would LOVE to see your kids dressed up!!  I totally really miss Halloween and all the kids running around the neighborhood asking for candy!!!  If I hear of anything I will be sure to post it!!!
