Sadly we did not celebrate Halloween this year. Not by
choice. Here in New Zealand Halloween is no big deal and no one does anything
for it. Believe me, we asked around. One person even told us it was in
November, so you know they have no idea it’s anything special. I was going to
get some Halloween treats for the kids since we weren’t trick-or-treating, but
they didn’t have any of those either. Guess I should have figured. Instead we
got our “fix” by looking at my Halloween board on Pinterest. LOL! We also
looked at pictures of our cousins in their costumes. And that was about it. Oh
well. On the plus side, I didn’t have to spend a small fortune on Halloween
costumes. Here’s a picture of our Halloween decorations I threw up by the front
door before we left. I thought we could at least enjoy them for 2 weeks.

Bummer. Well, I guess you guys are immersing yourself in the culture. I am sure there are other cool holidays they do there that we don't do here. I have a neighbor from the Netherlands and she said they really don't celebrate Halloween there too. They are the cutest family. They went with our tradition and ran with it. Last year the whole family dressed up as Captain America. Even the mom and dad. They were such a hit on our block. Will you guys be there for Christmas? I bet it would be fun to see Christmas in the summer.
We never have trick or treaters in our neighborhood, so I really enjoy seeing all the kids on facebook.
