I see just as much effort put into decorations as for Christmas; I even saw one house that put up fake cardboard "stone" walls around their house.

Here in France I saw no sign of Halloween whatsoever this year. I guess people were still totally obsessing about the reforms the gov't just pushed through. That had alot of folks up in arms. But far from everybody. Some people realize that change is necessary. Maybe a necessary evil, but still necessary.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-88035068178941827202010-11-02T05:21:27.214+01:002010-11-02T05:21:27.214+01:00Hola Roxana !

And then the kids come around in costumes, with big bags with which to receive as much candy handouts as possible. Dentists meanwhile are rubbing their hands, thinking of all the cavities they will get to treat in the coming months !<br /><br />And the photographer in question is very brave... in the face of the walking dead !Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-68851160399759116052010-11-02T05:18:20.687+01:002010-11-02T05:18:20.687+01:00Dear Nevine, Halloween was wonderful... our two gi...Dear Nevine, Halloween was wonderful... our two girls were away for the weekend, so it was just me and la Grenouille with a rare moment of just the two of us... a bottle of white wine was opened... a good time was had by all.<br />:-)<br /><br />Halloween really is an odd celebration, reminding us all of our mortality, in many macabre ways.
