Now it looks like I’ve finally got a cold. It started slowly on wednesday and got finally worse yesterday. So with a messy headache and all the other nice stuff I’ve decided to stay in bed today. Not sure how long this intention will last though.

Guess this Helloween for me is over even before it really started. But still wondering about my friend Wilf could be right with his comment about we exported it to the USA instead.

Hey Wilf? By the way … What do you mean with our ancestors? I couldn’t remember one of mine would have ever did wear a kilt?!

Living in Germany Helloween never ever was a topic for me. Besides knowing it out of a  few movies occasionally  showing dressed up kids walking around and asking for candy and a few oversea contacts mentioning it, it always remains a funny but strange behavior for me.

Now since a few years the shops here have started to sell Helloween stuff as well  ….

Me always wondering about who really would need that to buy that, last year I was very surprised seeing two little ghosts and a bit of a pumpkin decoration at home.

Also our German kids seems to like it and once again it looks the Americans have archived to export some of their good stuff (like Hamburgers, Windows, root beer, Dr. Pepper Coke and KFC …. ) to us.

Nevertheless receiving some Helloween greetings today was fun indeed. It is still not like I would care about this Helloween. But seeing someone making effort, even sending greetings to people living in oversea is great. And specially in this case when exchange isn’t really that much though it values double!!

Perhaps I should now mark down this Oct, 31 for sending greetings myself next year?!!
