Halloween en la Suisse

So, like, they apparently don't do Halloween in Europe.

I don't know about you, but any holiday that celebrates free candy should be celebrated internationally, if you ask me.

Actually, it seems that Halloween is kind of a budding holiday. There's one house on our street that has a few fake cobwebs up, and there's a small costume section in the grocery store. But I'm not expecting the full, everyone dressed up, candy everywhere, lots of sugar high kids type thing.

So, the American and Canadian families from my dad's work are putting together a Halloween party for all the kids. Aww. I think it's sweet. The one negative is that out of the 17 kids in this group, I am most definitely the oldest, by a good four years or so, so I might end up dressed as a pirate and babysitting some two year olds. Not that I mind. I'll still get the free candy.

Still, we're going all out with the decorations and such, and I'm even going to the American store in Geneva tomorrow to get some real, legitimate American candy. I wanted to make pumpkin cupcakes too, but we don't have cupcake pans at the mo. Sad day. Anyways, I'm kind of excited. It's like the first time in my life that I've ever observed my dad put any effort into a holiday event (that may be an exaggeration, but lets just say he's not exactly a holiday decorating kind of guy), so I know it's gonna be good.

But like I said... I'm being a pirate. That automatically makes everything better:

Arr.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Happy Halloween, everyone! :]
