So it is officially Halloween here, and since it is 2am and I am on my way to the airport, I thought I would fill you guys in on the Halloween traditions in England. According to my British Professor in charge of us, people in England don't particularly celebrate Halloween because they think of it in the religious sense that it is All Hallows' eve. I have noticed however that store do try to make Halloween an event and among all the Christmas decorations (yes Christmas, they start very early here), there are a few Halloween costumes for younger children but no huge sales on bags of fun sized candy or anything like that. In a few hours I will be in Switzerland and I can't wait to see how they celebrate there, or if they too are ready for Christmas already!
