My First Halloween Party
If you grew up in USA or Canada, you probably celebrated Halloween like in the movies. Wore a costume, went trick or treating and maybe even went to "hunted house". Just like in the movies.
Where I grew up (Israel), we didn't have Halloween. We had something else called "Purim". In Purim you dress up and have a costume party, and even have a Jewish ritual to give of fancy food gifts to friends. You probably think it's sound nice, and it sure is. Yet my friends and I always thought Halloween is way cooler than Purim. Maybe it's because of the spooky vibe of Halloween or maybe it's because we always saw it in movies.
Few years ago, a friend of mine, who had an American roommate at the time, decided to have a Halloween party in his house. They bought Halloween decoration from US and even made some spooky looking snacks. They did a great job making it look like in the movies.
It was s great night and everyone enjoyed at the party. Not sure if it because of the party's theme or because it just was a great party. Anyway it was nice to celebrate different Holiday from different culture.
I have some friends throwing a halloween party tonight, but the hubby and I are sick. I missed another halloween party last Friday. The best thing about living in a country that doesn't really celebrate the holiday is the fact we throw these parties throughout october and november both. The worst: not nearly enough fun decorations available at shops.
לא חשבתי על זה אבל אף פעם לא הייתי בהלווין. כמה דוחפים את זה בסדרות אמריקאיות
שלא נדבר על כריסמס, נראה לי שאין סידרה אחת שאין בה פרק אחד על זה
I agree, in order to experience it for real you need to celebrate it the US or Canada.
Oh oh ese diablillo me gusta
