/ k6 o E. w. E% I% m* [' [After I settled down in Edmonton, I celebrated Canada Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Remembrance Day. All of them arevery interesting to me, but I have to say that the most enjoyable holiday is Halloween.1 A- g; e% v* O: D$ X$ r
My teacher told me I should prepare candies, and many children would come to my home and ask for them. So, I bought many candies from Zellers and Safeway. When I got back home with the candies, my wife told me that there were not enough, so I went to Safeway again and bought more.
# }% i! ]/ S8 e8 U7 {) ZMy child was shy and didn’t speak much English, so I taught her how to shout “Trick or Treat”. After two days of training, she is perfect at shouting “Trick or Treat” .
2 D& X! b/ N8 q8 O; Q# qOctober 31st is Halloween. I got up very early that day. My wife prepared chicken which I was going to bring to class for a potluck. My child was very happy because she had already been waitingfor this day for a long time.8 H* c3 G# c$ Q }& F% K: D) \
In the afternoon, we had a potluck in the class. Yuong Sook, a Korean girl, made some sushi which looked very beautiful. Chun Yuan, a Chinese girl, cooked some bouilli which tasted very delicious. Of course my wife cooked the best food because they were all cleared off all gone.
4 f$ I2 {& T; IAfter lunch, we had a party in the student center. Many students put make up on their faces and wore some strange clothingcostume. They were singing and dancing there. What a happy day!9 |" M% H/ T, b
When we gothome, it turned dark. My child said, “Dad, may I go out and ask for candies?”
' l" F9 R' W2 B7 `9 c“Yes. Why not?” I said.7 o; W& V/ d( i, I
My child went out with a bag. I stayed at homewith my wife, waiting for neighbours' kids. To my surprise, only three children came to my home, and I was left with many unclaimedcandies. And, one hour later, my child came back with a full bag. “Dad,” She said, “My bag is full. I have many candies now. What an interesting day!”% e! f: \! }4 G* H* h" b! ]# U
“You are right, my child.” I said, “Halloween is the most interesting holiday in Canada, I think.”
