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. @, F @ O2 \% ?9 D7 {
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.0 F' Y7 s$ E5 K, }1 a7 f+ p
