Pumpkins everywhere, amazing decorations creating a spooky atmosphere, colored leaves lying on the ground, kids "trick or treating" at each house of the street. We do not have all of this. Well, yes, we do have the leaves! But it is almost the only Halloween bite. The truth is we do not really celebrate Halloween here in Belgium. Some doors get fake pumpkins or whatever relates to autumn for the occasion. I must admit quite a lot of Halloween crap appeared on stores' displays. Anything you need to waste your money. And parties of course, "Free potion for costumed ones!", they say... But we do not live it the American way! Anyway, I've seen so many #halloween and #pumpkin on my US friends Instagram that a few ideas popped up in my mind...
1 Homemade pumpkin soup. I suddenly remember the sunflower seeds rolls that I used to buy at the bakery next door, in my former apartment. (Me being sad...) Would perfectly fit! 2 Pumpkin spice M&M's. Unfortunately you can't find these in Belgium. (Me being sad again...) I mean, seriously, we only have tree different kinds of it. Not fair. 3 A pumpkin bucket. To put my treats in. No, it's not just for kids. 4 These monster slippers. 5 No light, but this pumpkin garland hanging from the ceiling. Booh! 6 A comfy outfit made of this skeleton sweater and American Apparel winter leggings. Just stay home. 7 Sipping pumpkin spice latte or PSL, for the regulars ;) 8 Wathcing non-scary Halloween films, such as Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit 9 The Addams Family, or 10 Beetlejuice 11 Just so you know, I would also highly enjoy a stay in Disneyland Paris during this Halloween time of the year. Okay i've allready gone exactly two years ago. But... Disney!
Plus: I also (home)made Halloween biscuits. With an orange icing and black stars on it. Yummmm. Take a look if you dare!
Have a creepy Halloween!
