Yesterday I enjoyed running 55 minutes through a soft rain. It was really pleasant because the weather is still warm enough here in Central Italy, where such weather conditions are unusual in October.
The photo shows a particular of the beautiful farm and its well maintained ground, where I bought two pumpkins this morning. That farm is located 15 km North from my town, but I didn't buy the pumpkins because of Halloween history and traditions :) We have planned to cook an easy soup with pumpkin puree. As you know, people who live on the edge of the Mediterranean sea don't celebrate Halloween. Its origin lies in the traditions of the Celtic people although that festival takes place mainly in the U.S..
I've just heard good news with regards to my post about the Italian politicians, which I wrote on November, 8th, 2011. A judge convicted former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi for tax fraud. Mr. Berlusconi faces a year in jail, but he is unlikely to serve the sentence, as prison terms in Italy aren't carried out until the lengthy appeals process is exhausted. What a shame! I hate those politicians who pretend to be pious and break the law!

Do you celebrate halloween in your country?

Traditionally, Australia hasn't celebrated Halloween but in recent years people are starting to do so. I think it's been driven by shops, which see it as another way to earn some money, and by kids who want to get lollies and play dress-ups.
Halloween isn't traditional here, either, but commercial interests have introduced it here, too, the past ten years or so... BOO!
I am not a big Halloween person. I don't like costumes and we live in the country so we get no trick or treaters. When my kids were little we did do it for sure though.
Halloween is now the 2nd biggest holiday in the USA. Many people decorate as much, if not more than Christmas. I don't like the scary stuff and usually don't dress up. I do hand out candy and love the little kids in costumes and get mad at the teenagers who don't put any thought into a costume and still want candy.
In Italia Halloween è tutti i giorni grazie ai nostri politici!
Big in the USA. kids dress-up in costumes and go house to house in search of candy. Adults have parties and dress-up in a costume....Tons of fun.
