October 31st, my first Halloween in the United States. We usually don’t celebrate Halloween in France: “commercial” and “it’s not our tradition” are the two main arguments for being blase about it… But here, it’s huge. I was curious to see how things could be the night of trick-or-treating… So at 5pm last night, super excited about it, I wandered in the nicest streets of Boston. Houses were spectacular, and the streets were really busy…
Now Halloween is over and I’ll eventually be able to throw away my ugly rotten jack-o-lantern (how can I get the candles left inside…). Next holiday: Thanksgiving. Can’t wait to experiment it!
