I helped carve pumpkins with Stefan’s class at the French school. Ahhh… the universal appeal of Halloween: costumes, candy, jack-o -lanterns, screaming “trick-or-treat.” I know Americans didn’t invent Halloween, but we did make it into the goofy thing that it is. To me, this school celebrating Halloween shows something about how easy it is to embrace American culture. Why do do we celebrate Halloween? Because it’s fun–that’s reason enough for Americans.
As they say in French: Appy Alloween!
twenty-something years of "what have you been up to?"
