My mother and I will be in San Francisco where dressing up for Halloween appears to be compulsory 😛
Not sure what to do though as my normal pirate outfit requires room in my suitcase that I just won't have! Debating whether to just be v boring as witch since I'm sure I can buy a hat there and long black skirt and top can be worn again on holiday... Might spray my hair some bizarre colour and wear some wayout makeup to make it a little more interesting.
I would agree with that. When I lived in London, my American friends and I would get all revved up for Halloween, while the natives seemed indifferent towards it. I'm guessing this has to do with Americans taking a break from our Puritan roots.
I think people in the UK make more of a deal about Bonfire night/Fireworks night which is the 5th November. And as the two events fall so closely together people only really bother with one of them.
