American Versus Dutch Halloween Culture

Happy Thursday book friends! As I’m writing this I’m still recovering from doing groceries. Or rather, my mom did groceries and I waited outside because I did not feel like getting into a fighting match with all the other shoppers. I really miss those gigantic grocery stores in the U.S… Speaking of the U.S, in today’s post I’m going to compare American Halloween culture to Dutch Halloween culture. I was born on Halloween, and back in the day people here hardly knew what Halloween was. For the first few years of my life I always got Halloween birthday cards from…

Halloween in Quarantine? Here are some ideas!

Are you like me crying that Halloween will most likely be cancelled this year? Even though it’s on a Saturday? And a full moon?! Great! Let’s wallow in self pity together. Anyway, I’m not defeated so easily, so I thought I’d make a list of Halloween activities you can do while in quarantine! Halloween for me is extra special, because it’s also my birthday. This year I turn 26 (help) and I was really looking forward to organizing another Halloween party for my friends. Unfortunately Covid came along, and even though we all thought it would be over by now,…
