Usually I appreciate it as an excuse to party, but I work all day this year so I don't really care about it.
I'll say somewhat. Here in Spain Halloween isn't really Halloween, but it's a festive nonetheless. We occasionally play around with decorations and pumpkins, or dress up. Trick or Treating has become more popular amongst kids here, though it was never a thing until like the early 2000s.
What is traditional here (in Catalonia specifically, not Spain) are roasted chestnuts and THESE MOFOS RIGHT HERE:
They are simply heavenly.
not really. my wife and i will give out candy to trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood but we don't dress up or decorate our home or anything
I enjoy it, it allows you to act like a character one day of the year. Dressing up is fun, and especially for kids. Parades at school, people out having fun dressed up in costumes, very cool day. Spooky stuff all around, movies, ect. Lots of fun the whole month. I like it allot !
Not anymore, it used to be when I was a kid. But since moving here it hasn't. We get very few trick or treaters here anyway, I think we got like 4 last year and they where all dressed the same lol (I live in Cleveland, guess who everyone dressed as last year)
Nope, it´s not important for me, it´s important for my children, thanks to the gringo influence in Mexico my kids celebrate Halloween as an alien celebration plus the native celebrations: the Day of all Souls and the Day of the Dead. ( Oct 30th, Nov 1st, Nov 2nd ). Typical food for those days is the "pan de muertos", plus there are sugar & chocolate skulls, "atole" ( hot beverage prepared with corn ) and tamales.
Definitely not... although a lot of the major retailers down here in Aus seem to pushing it. Just want to sell more sh** I guess.
Yes. I don't do much of anything for it anymore, but I loved it as a kid, and I've always appreciated the folklore and atmosphere that surrounds it.
