Yeah it was strange this year in Belgium too, although they do do a bit of spooky stuff, mostly for commercial purposes.

i don’t like the spooky stuff… creeps me out!

Do they do anything for halloween?

i’m sure they do in areas, just not where we are located.

Ah, I understand that feeling!
No Trick or Treating in Holland either, but in a couple of weeks they have a holiday where the children get to go sing on doorsteps and get treats from neighbors, so we share in that cultural exchange!

there’s a holiday coming up here, too. no going door to door, but still i think a neat thing to experience!

We did Halloween Trick or treating in Thailand, we took our maid’s 5 yr old! I’m guessing your area isn’t so much of an ex-pat community.

no, we sort of chose to stay out of the ex-pat hubs around here. i’m sure there are neighborhoods doing stuff, but i’m okay with not finding out

I’m with Mom24. This is one holiday I could pass up BUT the kiddos love dressing up!

Oooh! I’ve seen this noblopomo thing around. Maybe I’ll go check this one out!

i feel the same about halloween!

i did nablopomo last year when i was brand new to blogging. it was good to get me into the practice of everyday.

How are your kids coping with things being so different? Mine would be bereft. They love the dressing up. Jacob loves the candy even more.

I’m thinking about Noblopomo’ing. We’ll see. I’ll enjoy reading yours though!

mine are really all old enough for the candy to hold all the appeal. the youngest still enjoys dressing up and has chosen a costume for this year. something not too obviously costume-y.
apparantly in bangkok they do halloween…
