It's almost Halioween. What do you do in your country at this time of the year?
In the Philppines, there are some who already holds Haloween party, but I atill haven't seen one in my hometown.
What we do is go to the cemetery on the 1st of November, to pray for our loved ones who have passed away already. It's a very old tradition.

Halloween is an imported holiday in my country. Years ago, we celebrated All Saints´ Day and we went to the cemetaries with flowers for our loved ones.
Now chidlres dress up in costumes and come trick or treating. There are even selling expensive imported pumpkins to carve at some supermarkets.
I turn the lights off at home and make believe I´m not home.

he he he.. well that's an effective way not to be bothered by the children he he he. Nobody is trick or treating yet in my city. But last year I saw some kids dressed up as zombies and witches and they just stand on a sidewalk and greets motorists Happy Halloween.. But almost everybody celebrates All Saints' day and All Souls' Day here.
