The Netherlands, doesn't have a Halloween tradition. (Yet.) But having friends on the North American continent means I'm no stranger to it.
This year I got my very first Halloween card. A kick ass one, I must add. And a secret ghoul at the Strangers in Paradise forum got me some lovely gifts, including this one that made me snicker like a 15-year-old:
My friend Tweety and I went for sushi and a hilarious performance at the theater in Maastricht earlier tonight. And we had a great time - as usual. On our way to the train station we passed two Americans (the accents and their Halloween outfits gave them away), so in passing I wished them a happy Halloween. Boy, they were close to ecstatic! It turned out, in short, I was the first and only one who have that to them. They held out their treat bag for me (they were that grateful, bless 'em) and Tweety and I had some Halloween candy. That was weird, since it should be the other way round. Good thing the male half of the couple handed me the bag, and then they shouted "TRICK OR TREAT!" *lol* I'm so glad I could make their night a little bit better!
