fame without fortune (and Halloween)

My family has this funny habit of appearing in local newspapers and publications. I joined a Kolding Facebook group and inquired about Halloween in Denmark. It received a lot of response and discussion which led to a reporter from a newspaper contacting me. He came to interview Rus and I about what Halloween traditions meant to us in Canada and what we will be doing for Halloween here. A photographer came and did a photo shoot with us, which was definitely not within my comfort zone, but still fun.

We didn't end up going treat-or-treating on Halloween night but Rus took Dean to Halloween in Legoland a while ago and we all went to an awesome Halloween parade (with fireworks) in the neighbouring city of Vejle on the weekend.
We decorated our front window a bit to let trick-or-treaters know that we were open for business but only six kids came. We all miss the good Halloween night vibe of Canada, when everyone is out in the streets, eating junkfood, showing off their costumes and meeting neighbours. It is considered an American holiday here, and has only just caught on about ten years ago.

That's Freya's head that this creature is eating!
