i am telling you about halloween tradition in Belgium
Halloween activitie we do:
- trick of treating
- attend costume parties
- lighting bonfires
- playing pranks
- watching horror movies
- ect....
this feast is more likely for children because they can put on a costume on the street. the parents also like this feast because they can make children that aren't there children by giving them candy.
in other countries they even have food traditions but we just go and collect candy (CANDY IS FOOD)
the Irish:
- potato pancakes
- fruit bread
- mashed potatos and kale
the US:
- caramel covered apples
- roasted pumpkin seads
- pumpkin spiced cookies
- popcorn balls
- ect....
my personal experience is that i do this activities every year even tough i am 16 yeras old. I would still do everything for candy. me and my friends first go with our little brothers or sisters and when they are tired and are at home, then we go on the streets and scare other children or adults. we do this to keep the feast alive in our neighborhood because we see less and less people on the streets on this eve.
Fact: my grandfather lives in Poland and they don't know this feast. In Poland they all go to the graves from there grand-parents this eve.
