Idag ar det Alla Helgons Dag och Amerikanska Halloween. Jag har faktiskt inte markt av det sa mycket i ar. Jag har mott nagra barn som varit utkladda pavag till skolan, men inte mycket mer an sa. Kanske ar det mer tex. i Midtown? Jag har daremot markt pa facebook och instagram den senaste veckan att svenska vanner lagger ut bilder pa pumpor och olika halloween kostymer. Har det blivit en riktig grej dar nu? Nar jag vaxte upp visste man vad Halloween var, men man firar det inte. Jag laste en artikel forra veckan om att en amerikansk man, Bill Schakt, som bor i Sverige nu har fatt ihop en Halloween parad i Stockholm, Shockholm. Dessutom ska det vara en hel festival kring detta. Hahah, i Sverige tar man alltid ett steg langre. Samma med tex. Pride…varfor har Sverige hela helger och NY bara en dag? Kul for svenskarna iaf att det hander saker. Tydligen ska Globen bli en monsterpumpa, det hade jag velat se! Bor man i New York och man vill se eller vara med i paraden, kan man hitta info HERE. Borjar kl. 7pm ikvall. Jag har varit dar en gang, det ar total kaos och man far halla hart i den man gar dit med, men det ar en otrolig upplevelse faktiskt. Musik, dansare, artister, jatte puppets och alla i helt fantastiska costumes.
Today is All Saints Day and the American Halloween. I have actually not noticed it so much this year. I have met some kids in costumes on their way to school, but not much more than that. Maybe there is more in perhaps Midtown? I have noticed on facebook ad instagram the past week that Swedish friends are posting pictures of pumpkins and different halloween costumes. Has that become a real thing there now? When I grew up you knew what Halloween was, but you never celebrated it. I read an article last week that an american man, Bill Schakt, that now lives in Sweden, now has put together a Halloween parade in Stockholm, Shockholm. Also, there will be a whole festival around this. Hahah, in Sweden you take everything one step further. Same with like Pride…why has Sweden whole weekends and NY only one day? Fun for the Swedish people that there is stuff going on. Apparently will Globen turn into a monster pumpkin, I would love to see that! If you live in New York and you want to see or participate in the parade, you can find more infoHERE. It starts at 7pm tonight. I have been there once, it is total chaos and you have to hold tight to the one you going there with, but it an incredible experience actually. Music, dancers, artists, giant puppets and everyone in fantastic costumes.
