Ah, Halloween... a spooky but fun holiday where for one night the world is transformed into costumes, candy and everything scary.
Or so I thought. Turns out, "the world" doesn't quite stretch over to the UK. Halloween is today, but unfortunately for Aaron and I, London is not big on celebrating it or that's what everyone who has been in London during Halloween tells me. This is really too bad because you know we love the spirit of a good, creative costume. Plus when we moved to Fulham, we both had thought 'this will be a great neighborhood for trick-or-treaters since it is all young families!'
Our only hope lies in a secret code: my coworkers tell me that you have to put a pumpkin at your door step and then if there are any children who happen to be trick-or-treating, they will know to come there. You can bet there will be a pumpkin (or a patch) on our doorstep tonight.
But alas, Aaron and I will probably just be sitting at home alone with our carved pumpkins and "Kids, free candy here!" sign, eating the Halloween candy that I had optimistically bought for the non-existent dressed up children at our door. That doesn't sound depressing or sketchy at all... trick or treat to US!
