Halloween (October 31)



Instructions for the uninnitiated in Manly

Halloween isn't much of a holiday in Sydney, which is odd as the two cultures which most influence Australia are British and American, and those countries celebrate Halloween. The most common question I got asked was "when is Halloween?"

Therefore I hosted a little Halloween party for the kids of mother's group. People were encouraged to wear costumes and we carved a pumpkin. Sorry, I didnt get any photos of the finished work.

We actually had ONE trick-or-treat'er and I had to scramble to get treats! My fault, I should have known that the sign indicated we were open for business.
