Holiday Traditions
In class we talked about the Lottery paper and about holiday traditions. My concern is about Halloween. I never heard about Halloween until I came to America. My daughter goes to school and the school celebrates it with costumes and everything. She wants to wear a costume and get the candy. I don't understand the meaning of Halloween and I can't explain it to her. We talk to children and tell them not to talk to strangers or take candy from them, then we take them out and let them go to stranger's houses and ask for candy. My concern is the school should explain about Halloween and that kids shouldn't eat the candy until their parents check it and are sure it's safe. It's a scary thing for the kids with monsters and fires and dead bodies. The dark is scary too. I don't like walking around in the dark in an area I don't know.

I agree, Halloween is quite hypocritcal. lol but if the schools taught the history and safety for it, I think it'd be much better
ReplyDeleteHalloween can be very scary for young children. When I was younger, my favorite little cousin wouldn't come near me because of the costume I was wearing.
ReplyDeleteHalloween is fun for me now, but not as a little kid. I was adopted from Russia, including my twin sister and my younger siblings. There was no such thing as Halloween over there.
