Halloween is no traditional holiday in Norway, but the past years it has come, influenced by US. Most of our celebrations are the shops selling costumes, special sweets, and all imaginable and unimaginable items you "simply must have".
I am no shopper, but with an 11 year old girl in the house it is difficult to say no to the "celebration". A group of her friends had a party which they had planned all by themselves, and when Marta came home we had our own family Halloween night in front of the hearth - me, Terje and our two girls.
Sweet rools, hot chocolate with whiped cream, best "china" and real silverware, a crackling fire and the reading of a H.C.Andersen fairytale

Happy Halloween to you and yours :)
Sounds like a lovely Halloween night.
Halloween in the US has certainly got a little too wild and commercial for me.
Hope that that part of Halloween never touches your life.
Your celebration sounds as divine a ghoulish night as I would ever want to have.

Britt Arnhild, what a perfect celebration! You could teach us North Americans a few things on how to properly celebrate the holiday.
