After I came to Edmonton, I celebrated Canada Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Remembrance Day. All of them are interesting for me, but the most interesting holiday is Halloween.
+ [6 f& f* j0 ]My teacher told me I must prepared candies, and many children would come to my home and ask for them. So, I bought many candies form Zellers and Safeway. When I came home with the candies, my wife told me that there were not enough, so I went to Safeway again and bought more candies.
! }' S5 a) o" D0 RMy child was shy and didn’t speak mach English, so I taught her how to shout “Trick or Treat”. She was perfect at shouting “Trick or Treat” after two days of training.
* z4 H- L7 M1 p3 D' y( l9 }October 31st was Halloween. I got up very early that day. My wife cooked chicken which I was going to bring to class for a potluck. My child was very happy because she had already waited for this day for a long time.

; ^/ Z- F. z; t9 N% o/ mAfter lunch, we had a party in the student center. Many students put make up on their faces and wore some strange clothing. They were singing and dancing there. What a happy day!5 D* C5 \& L: Z1 D N" p
When we arrived home, the sky became dark. My child said, “Dad, may I go out and ask for candies?”" c+ k' T+ U! W
“Yes. Why not?” I said.

“You are right, my child.” I said, “Halloween is the most interesting holiday in Canada, I think.” |
