more halloween costumes
what can I say... this is the final week before halloween and I realized I have shown only one other picture of children wearing costumes here at long island daily photo. this picture is for all of my friends who live in other countries who do not celebrate halloween. though many adults love and partake of this tradition, most people in the united states started celebrating it when they were children. the most important part of this holiday is getting to "be" whatever you want to be. you can be a cat, a wizard, a soccer player or a nerdy pimply faced guy who wears bright red suspenders-please note the above photograph of typical long island children dressed in halloween costumes.
unlike adults, children get to go trick or treating parading from house to house ringing peoples doorbells and shouting "trick or treat!" amazingly, everyone opens up there doors, admires their costumes and then fills their goody bags with candy!
I love this part of "my world". if you would like to see what is going on in other parts of the world, please go here.

Nice costumes for halloween.
I guess you guys must have fun over there.
We spent an autumn in Vermont where our childer were invited to join in a Halloween party with all the trimmings: bowls of spaghetti and jello in the dark with spider webs and bats etc.
Hope yours enjoy it just as much.
This was a great idea for the meme. I don't know why I hadn't realized not many other countries have these Halloween customs. I'm doing my childhood memories of a Halloween party tomorrow. Carving a Jack-o- Lantern today. What do you have up your sleeve for tomorrow?
Catalonia in Spain celebrates the chestnut festival on that night, some children are beginning to dress up but it's an acquired thing.
Happy Halloween to you!
:-)
Fun shot! I still have to figure out what to post on Halloween! ;)
