HALLOWEEN

hello
I will talk about the Halloween in Mexico..
It is allmost the same than Canada...Mexico is influencied by the american traditions, so that is the reason of the halloween in Mexico. When I was child every October 31 I used to ask for candies with my friends visiting the houses of my neighbours. We sang the tipical song of halloween (-Halloween night of the witshes, Halloween- OR -Treak or Treat-) it was so funny because if the neighbour didnt give you a candy we threw eggs on their houses......I used to dress like a witsh, or princess, or wonderfull woman....But if I do it now I will look ridiculous, dressing like a wish asking for candies....NOOO...

Older people, teenagers and adults will sometimes organize Halloween parties, with drinks and food, it might be scheduled on the nearest of octuber 31. We also celebrate two days after halloween the Day of Dead (Dia de muertos). This might account for the initial explanations of the holiday having a traditional Mexican-Catholic slant.
