From mid-October, the Seattle weather usually starts getting cold and cloudy, but the colorful autumn leaves and mountains of bright-orange pumpkins piled in front of supermarkets and produce stores make the season a little brighter. All stores decorate their interiors for Halloween – with various forms of monsters, ghosts, witches, cats – some creepy and some cute.
This year Halloween (October 31st) fell on a Monday, but college campuses held their Halloween costume parties on the previous Friday, since there are few classes on Friday afternoons, and there is no school the next day. But children going house to house yelling “trick-or-treat” had to wait for the actual Halloween on Monday, as that is the only day that people in their homes will give out candy. The HTC ESL classes also had their Halloween activities – like pumpkin carving and costume contests on the 31st.
