The children say “sweet or sour” instead of “trick or treat”. They don’t have the concept that tricking is a part of the whole fun of the day. I suspect that the children just like the occasion to dress up and eat lots of sweets. Yet, it is a start, isn’t it?

Halloween Cometh
Halloween was, when I moved to Germany twenty-four years ago, purely an American thing. In the last years this has changed. The children do not go door-to-door as much as celebrate the occasion at kindergartens, grade schools, daycare centres, or some children give Halloween parties.The children say “sweet or sour” instead of “trick or treat”. They don’t have the concept that tricking is a part of the whole fun of the day. I suspect that the children just like the occasion to dress up and eat lots of sweets. Yet, it is a start, isn’t it?
