Halloween

Halloween is truly important here. I thought it was just a fun time when you dress up and go trick or treating at other peoples doors much like what we do at easter in Sweden plus the tricking then. But was I wrong: the month of October will according to my predictions be renamed Halloween in the near future since October, the whole month is taken up by Halloween celebrations.
Any good American should:

- Decorate their house with pumpkin paraphernalia.
- Decorate their house with ghost.
- Decorate their house with witches.
- Decorate their house with tombstones.
- Decorate their house with cobweb.

- Decorate their lawn with pumpkins, skulls, tombstones and small lanterns.

- Make cookies out of cookies. See explanations further down.

- Throw a Halloween party, not necessarily on the night of Halloween, but sometime during the month of Halloween (known to others as October)

- Go visit a Haunted House (or set one up and have people come visit. I write about it here.)

- Buy a shitty costume in a shitty store located in a shitty strip mall. The shitty costume should be of such a low quality that it falls to pieces already before you leave said shitty store in afore mentioned shitty strip mall.

On Cookies

It is a normal behaviour for any American to buy cookies from the store and then re-bake them in another cookie dough to make bigger cookies. There is nothing to even lift your eyebrow on here... just accept it. (Oh, yes they are often good tasting and way to large but that is beside the point!)
