In Portugal there isn't a halloween tradition. We have Pãopordeus in the Nov 1st that is a holiday to bring the kids to knock and people give them sweets. Its for the real young'uns, like 2-10 y o and they dont wear costumes.
Just now I went for a cofee and there was an evangelical harping about it. "I don't take my kids to paopordeus, i gave them a bible" "kids already have strokes and high cholesterol", "those parents are irresponsible, they bring the devil and desease upon their children".
Well, fundies are a rarity around here and I was tempted to put her in her place, but meh, I like to enjoy my strong cofee and have a smoke afterwards
My daughter now has enough sweets for the year. And its a good thing to walk the hood knowing the neighbours, for the kids and the accompanying parents..
