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.
" v. x& R6 c7 W6 j) Y2 OMy 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.

' }! G) K u$ m/ cOctober 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.

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.! I- q! v! l5 H( M' `: o
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!! p8 D! k7 o- z- n# }- p7 g# _
When we gothome, it turned dark. My child said, “Dad, may I go out and ask for candies?”) U% C( C* u0 u1 w$ N# S" U/ E
“Yes. Why not?” I said., N! b/ o) p% }5 N4 }
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!”1 j- f1 D* l- m3 y8 B8 k: @9 o! g
“You are right, my child.” I said, “Halloween is the most interesting holiday in Canada, I think.”
