THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT

In my corner of Belgium Halloween is not very much celebrated and if only for children. I haven't seen any decoration in shops or malls, but maybe there is some but not much. I have heard that sweets will be given to the children in our very chic and expensive Gallery where all boutiques are located. That's all what Waterloo does for Halloween, but privately 2 days ago in one part somebody had organized a Halloween parade for kids.

Of course there will be Halloween parties in different places but on the street you see nothing not even a pumpkin.

Some years ago there was a big Halloween fest in the city park and everybody liked it there were always a lot of people, but this doesn't exist anymore, apparently the city has not enough money, which is more then strange, because we pay a lot of city taxes compared to others ! Probably our politicians had a salary increase.

No kids ring at the door anymore, so I didn't buy any sweets, last year I had to give them away because we don't eat them and nobody showed up !

But to put you into the Halloween spirit, I found some nice pictures on Internet, how Americans celebrate Halloween. Even more then in Ireland the country from where stems Halloween. It had been brought to America by Irish immigrants and then "made great again" as Trump would say.
