Mas por aqui o Halloween é assunto sério. No ínicio do mês já havia máscaras por todo o lado, abóboras, algumas decorações tímidas. Ao longo do mês, ouvimos as pessoas a prepararem o Halloween. Comprar fatos, decidir onde ir, decorar a casa, comprar doces. Não é uma tradição que me diga muito mas hoje, ao fim da tarde, os miúdos começaram a bater a porta a peder "Trick or treat?" e foi inevitável pensar que afinal, para eles até é giro. Um miúdo apareceu vestido de mágico, fez um truque de cartas em troca de gomas. Não é tão giro?
Os vizinhos se conhecem, andam em grupos com as crianças e por todo lado podemos encontrar vampiros, caçadores de fantasmas, bruxas, malévolas e até Harry Potters.
Vida nova, novas tradições, por isso...Happy Haloween!
ENG: I'm not a big fan of Halloween. Probably it's because we don't celebrate it in Brazil or Portugal. In fact I never really understood Halloween. I always knew the mexican tradition, to celebrate the day of the deads witch even makes a litlle sense for me. It's always good to remember those who are no longer with us. Better yet if you remind them with a party.
Around here Halloween is taken very seriously. In the beginning of October we could see costumes everywhere, pumpkins and some decorations. Throughout the month we could see people getting ready for Halloween, making arrangements for today. Buying costumes, deciding where to go, decorating house entry's and buying sweets. It's not a day the says a lot to me but today, at the end of the day, the kids started knocking at our door whit the famous "Trick or treat?" and it was inevitable to think that that was cute. A kid show up at our door dressed as magician and made some magic tricks before asking for some candy. How cute is that?
Neighbors that konw each other walking around in large groups with the kids and everywhere we go we can see vampires, ghostbuster, witches and even Harry Potters.
New life, new traditions so...Happy Halloween!
