A tale about ghost’s, children in costumes and a cup of coffee.

Pumpkins... I'm not a fan of them

So today is “Halloween” night…. that means, kids running around askin’ for candies and stuff. Sound’s like fun, doesn’t it? And to think that when I was a kid, “Halloween” was just something that we could see in movies (Here in Chile, as far as I can remember we started to “celebrate” it since 1999)

While I do not agree on the idea of importing foreign holidays into our life, I do like the fact that we can have a small period of the year, when we can do stuff like wearing costumes, trowing parties and acting silly. Our society is not very fond of doing things like that, ’cause we think of it as “child stuff”.

Anyway, I might sound like the typical neighbour that doesn’t give a crap about the rest of the people, but I wont have any candy bag ready in case they decide to show up around here. My parents will be out, my sis’ is going to a party and I’ll get my USB powered dart launchers ready to protect my house. I tested them last year and believe me, no kid wanted to knock on my door!

And you, what will you do today? Will you get on a costume or will you stay inside?
