Hi Paul, Unfortunately, children who are now adults and not American have not grown up with Haloween and have little knowledge other than what we read and the films we see - I would have loved every moment of it! Warm regards, Jennifer.

I can relate to you comment, Jennifer; even here in Malta Halloween only caught on in recent years; young children enjoy it! Thank you for a pleasant visit. Warm regards // paul
