I think it depends on where you are. When I was in the UK, we lived in town of mostly locals along with a few other 'married without kids' US couples. The local kids made sure to make costumes and come by our house every Halloween. Not sure if it was widespread, but they knew we'd give them goodies and their parents were out there walking them around! In Egypt, the Embassy did a lot to help celebrate all holidays, and the kids' school threw a HUGE Halloween fair. Local teens would also dress-up, party, and cause trouble by throwing eggs and tomatoes (in fun, but troublesome fun). You could find limited costumes and decorations in town. I actually have a brass jackolantern that I bought in Khan al Khalili bazaar! In Jordan, the school has a fair, the Embassy does trick or treating and a haunted house. I haven't had any local kids trick-or-treat, but I was in a toy store the other day that was filled with costumes and decorations, and I've heard announcements on the radio for Halloween parties. <br />Halloween can be a lot of fun for kids and adults, and while it still may be new and 'odd' in places, fun does spread!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-19904184807647092752010-10-11T06:38:40.111+02:002010-10-11T06:38:40.111+02:00Typ0 - There's a theme?

I mean, do you go door to door in Jordan, trick or treating?! I have heard that other cultures are appalled at the American Halloween "holiday." Have you found this to be true?Rebeccahttp://freakyfrugalite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-17132941783626274852010-10-07T16:59:49.585+02:002010-10-07T16:59:49.585+02:00I got our costumes there this year, too.
