Halloween In Armenia

Happy Halloween Room 21!

We celebrated Halloween here for the first time and like your holiday very much. We brought pumpkins from our gardens to school and carved jack-o-laterns to put outside our house at night. We also created masks for our costumes to wear when we went trick-or-treating. The older kids in our school went trick-or-treating to the houses in our villages and asked for candy just like in America!


We received some different things than you might recieve in America...pomegrantes, apples, walnuts, cake, candy, and some money. Everything that we received we brought to the kindergarten so they would be able to share part in the holiday. The children were very happy.

How did you celebrate Halloween? What did you dress up as?

Wow!

We wrote a comment here a super long time ago, and it seems to have disappeared!

We celebrate Halloween by going door to door and saying "TRICK O TREAT" to our neighbors. Our neighbors usually give us candy, but sometimes we get things like glowsticks or notepads. We always say thank you when we get candy too.

We also dressed up as all kinds of things like movie characters, TV characters, fairy tale characters, animals, and adult jobs (ie fireman, police man etc).

Just wondering, did you ever get the pen pal letters we wrote back in October/November?

Thanks!

Hello Class!
Thanks for your comments. We find it very interesting that you get to dress up and get candy. We love celebrating this holiday like you guys do. We finally received your letters a little before Christmas. The mail system here is a lot slower than in America. We could not be any happier to receive them! Thanks so much. We have already responded and sent letters back to you about a week ago. You should have more letters coming in about 1 month.
