Apart from private costume parties, some hotels on the North Coast cater to the whole concept, with at least one I heard of having annual contests, such as the room that best portrays the spirit of Halloween in its decorations. In recent times, some high schools have costume parties. Still not everyone here is into it, as it's an American custom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-73411702037999408272007-11-01T14:51:00.000+01:002007-11-01T14:51:00.000+01:00I noticed that the shops were filled with stuff th...I noticed that the shops were filled with stuff this year, but the hallowed eve went by without much fuss in our street.
