I was just cleaning windows prior to moving out on Thursday and musing to myself about life in NZ and about the time of year and then realised I will be there for Halloween. As I am now totally cheesed of with cleaning and tired I've taken a break to ask a whimsical question.
I presume they celebrate Halloween in NZ but is it the old fashioned UK version or the updated American version. I can remember when I was a child, bobbing for apples, eating toffee apples and pomegranates and roasting chestnuts on an open fire, and we made lanterns from turnips, not pumpkins, much more difficult. I don't ever remember seeing a pumpkin as a child.They didn't have 'trick or treat' in my day and you didn't go out after dark in case you were caught by a witch Also, do I have to turn out the lights and hide when I run out of sweeties (candy) in case the little kiddies beat me up.
And has November 5th carried over to NZ as well - you know, burning Guy Fawkes on a bonfire :eek and fireworks.
Just an idle question - Sandra
