What you need to prepare for the holiday, to respect the traditions.
Coming October 31 – Halloween. It is time to look for a costume, choose a pumpkin and stock up on sweets. Or do that in America? And then what are we to do, if Halloween is also celebrated in Ukraine? We tried to find out how to celebrate All Hallows Eve in America, and we.
As noted in USA
In the US, Halloween was brought by immigrants. In addition, it is not considered an official holiday is not a day off and not a short work. However, Americans from young to big, look forward to the costumed action this day: decorate the offices and schools build children’s fair. Everyone is waiting for the processions through the city, carnivals, fun games and begging for candy.
Pumpkin latte and pumpkin Bazaar
In the United States prepare for Halloween, they begin almost from Sep. Coffee houses appear pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin lattes, and pumpkin pies. Not that this drink is not here, but before Halloween you need to look for such coffeehouses. In the Windows you can see mannequins in orange, and the city “dress up” the orange illumination. Igor Davidenko, who is now in new York told us that the city has transformed. At the entrances of the stores are pumpkin, different decorations inside.
“A pumpkin latte almost anywhere. Even appeared in McDonald’s! Interesting to see the city on the day of the celebration,” said Igor.
Later, a so-called “pumpkin market”. Where you can buy pumpkins of all sizes, the desired shape and to choose according to your budget. And why is it necessary – as a gift myself (to make a lantern-Jack) or for a celebratory cake. In the market also take out the pumpkins and lots of candles. Pumpkin put on the windowsills, on the walls, in the yard, on the tables – as a symbol of a lantern and scare away evil spirits.
Costumes and attributes
Costume stores considerably enriched on Halloween. From traditional costumes of evil spirits to giant fruits and vegetables, interior, ice cream, glasses with Pepsi, characters from movies and cartoons. In General anything that can distinguish you from the crowd. There are even costumes for Pets. However, there are those who made their own costumes. Come up with a way, do makeup, sew clothes, add attributes. It’s a ritual, and in some families, even tradition.
The parade of evil spirits and parties
Well, this was a parade of evil, now it’s just a costume parade to a Halloween theme. This procession with songs and dances, all those involved in the parade is photographed, meets and fun. After the parade everyone goes to party. There is already someone like that: bars, restaurants, night clubs, home gatherings-divination.
“Trick or treat”
For children on Halloween there is a separate occupation – to collect sweets. For their children parents carefully choose the costumes and doing make-up, hand baskets, and sent in search of sweets. It’s something like our Christmas carols.
As noted in Ukraine
In Ukraine Halloween began to celebrate recently. However, the scope is already noticeable: decoration of offices (sometimes even competition, who better to decorate), schools, shops, shopping centers, pumpkin lights in the room. The menu includes pumpkin pie appear. And many institutions arrange a movie night with horror movies or animated cartoons in the same style.
31 Oct there are plenty of masquerade parties. And in Transcarpathia, Halloween was a public holiday! But while the parade of evil, as in new York, we are not satisfied, and the kids not go from house to house with the requirements of “trick or treat”.
But, the atmosphere still felt Hallowine. For example, in Kiev, themed discos, a race of evil spirits, and even workshops on carving pumpkins! In addition, students a reason to make the costume and the makeup is terrible too, do not miss. Girls on Halloween do not miss the opportunity to tell fortunes on narrowed, for the future, for wealth. Halloween masquerade ball for those who are ready for new friendships, fun.
