We just got back from trick or treating. I can't believe that Halloween began as a Celtic tradition, because the British suck at it - even my British husband admits this. It's getting better than it was when I first came here 12 years ago. But now they all moan about how the holiday is becoming Americanized. There's even a town in Scotland that has banned "American Jack-0-Lanterns". Whatever. Bonfire Night is a real family friendly holiday. Let's burn an effigy and then blow sh*t up. Can you tell this is the one time of year when I get homesick?
Let's face it, this is one holiday we're good at. Georgia totally gets the spirit of the holiday, and Chris was all for it once he realized there was candy involved. Last year we dressed him up as a hot dog and carried him around, but this year he chased after Georgia and was quick to smack her if she tried to steal any of his haul. Wishing you all a safe and chocolately Halloween!
P.S. We grew the pumpkins!
