After I settled down in Edmonton, I celebrated Canada Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Remembrance Day. All of them arevery interesting to me, but I have to say that the most enjoyable holiday is Halloween.
& z+ v, I' n8 m6 _, |2 X$ EMy teacher told me I should prepare candies, and many children would come to my home and ask for them. So, I bought many candies from Zellers and Safeway. When I got back home with the candies, my wife told me that there were not enough, so I went to Safeway again and bought more.

October 31st is Halloween. I got up very early that day. My wife prepared chicken which I was going to bring to class for a potluck. My child was very happy because she had already been waitingfor this day for a long time.5 R4 N) n6 ?6 W0 y% X. W2 J
In the afternoon, we had a potluck in the class. Yuong Sook, a Korean girl, made some sushi which looked very beautiful. Chun Yuan, a Chinese girl, cooked some bouilli which tasted very delicious. Of course my wife cooked the best food because they were all cleared off all gone.6 _+ a! r) x' M2 D) h
After lunch, we had a party in the student center. Many students put make up on their faces and wore some strange clothingcostume. They were singing and dancing there. What a happy day!7 ]1 s4 L7 r( S6 q! K6 Q
When we gothome, it turned dark. My child said, “Dad, may I go out and ask for candies?”
3 O2 n4 a( b3 r t1 o+ O( o“Yes. Why not?” I said.6 j6 U- r) T: z) T# n0 h! | `. s2 z
My child went out with a bag. I stayed at homewith my wife, waiting for neighbours' kids. To my surprise, only three children came to my home, and I was left with many unclaimedcandies. And, one hour later, my child came back with a full bag. “Dad,” She said, “My bag is full. I have many candies now. What an interesting day!”
7 ]0 V& \; G3 P) H$ F“You are right, my child.” I said, “Halloween is the most interesting holiday in Canada, I think.”
