Halloween in Argentina
Halloween is just not as big of a deal in Argentina as it is in the States. There isn't a whole lot of Halloween stuff out, and no one really goes trick or treating. We tried to make it as festive as we could by making some Halloween decorations for our apartment as a fun activity to do with the kids, but for the most part it was a pretty mellow time. Along with the Halloween decoration we made I found really cute Halloween plates, cups and napkins that I planned to use for a Halloween party that we decided to throw for our friends here in Buenos Aires. I got them with that intention, but my husband reminded me that the party venue had all the things that we needed for the party so I didn't end up using them for that but we used them through the month of October to keep the Halloween theme going for the kids.
