Just a quick shout out to everyone at CBn. Happy Halloween! How will everyone be celebrating today? Trick or treating with their kids? Going to parties? Here in Spain, I taught my students how to trick-or-treat and tonight will be having a party with friends. Unfortunately, I can't go trick-or-treating with my sister, which is a shame as it is probably the last time she will go. She's just getting too old. Hope whatever you guys do is fun. Happy Halloween!

I'm going to sit at home and do nothing, since it's a foolish American thing that doesn't interest me.

I was lead to believe it has more of an Irish origin, if certainly not in the form celebrated today. But even if it had been the sole invention of Woolworth, Hearst and Crysler - just think of all those spectacular 'Treehouse of Horrors' episodes of the SIMPSONS we have to thank them for, marvellous!

I that, at least how we celebrate it in the U.S., is somewhat more influenced by Mexico. At least that's what my research showed. I probably told my students the wrong thing. I'm a great English teacher.

Oh, never mind. Just continue to tell them your version the next ten years and - voilá - it's magically become the agreed version...  ;)

Pretty much my sentiment as well.  I'll probably watch a horror film or two tonight, since I'm sure there will be plenty of them on tonight and that's probably my favorite genre of film, but aside from that I generally find Halloween to be atop the list of  "holidays" that should be done away with here in America.

Happy Halloween everybody!

 

Would love to see all the James Bond characters doing the Micheal Jackson dance and song to 'Thriller'.
