My favorite Halloween book is Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween. I read it every year and connect it to my writing lessons on voice. This year, it felt more like propaganda.
"Everyone we know is giving out candy?!"
"I gotta be a part of this!"
Koreans don't celebrate Halloween, but we do at our "American" international school. If you haven't read this book, check it out - or you can listen to it on youtube. I always read it aloud, then play Jerry's stand up version.
The Korean moms here do not mess around. They go all out decorating for holidays!
I don't hate Halloween, but I don't love it. I think mostly because of the time, energy, and money in putting a costume together (obligatory as an elementary teacher). I do love, however, when it all comes together on the cheap. I picked up some striped legwarmers (which are coming in handy now!) in a subway shop (subway shopping is awesome here), the apron from a dollar store type place (Daiso), and the wig at one of the few Halloween shops in Seoul. All under 20,000 won. Pippi Longstocking! I loved how many Koreans knew Pippi!
Free candy?! They're on board.
