No Halloween for me this year.

Tweet

I am not a Halloween person as when I was small, the culture of my country used this day to visit their loved dead ones. But Halloween came here with other imported things. We now even import pumpkins that are not grown here. And anyway we are just beginning spring and any sort of gourds grow later on. Today I had visitors And they were anti Halloween. And I had forgotten to buy candy. So while we were talking seated around the table, the bell started to ring as if the house was on fire. I went out and there were some quite small elves and ghosts with their parents. I imagine that it was the parents who rang the bell as the elves were not high enough to reach it. I went out and said that I was sorry but that I was ill in bed. The older people told me to get well and noone else came. It was a bright answer. My eldest daughter sent me a couple of pictures of herself disguised as Katrina, the Mexican ghost of the dead.
