We are having double fun, where I live.
Halloween catches up for the teenagers, so they can have their parties, and on the 11th day of the 11th month each year, the children go round door to door, singing songs for St. Martinsday.
The only thing they never did here was dress up for it. But they all have nice little lamps, that used to be real wax candles in a thin paper ball, when I was little. Now they have little battery lamps.
The dress up bit happens usually round carnival day for the little ones.
So, all in all, our children have three events (five if you count St Nicolasday and Christmas) to look forward to.
How many do American children have? Besides Turkey day, that is.. ??
