Trick-or-treat is something new here. We never did this during halloween. Halloween time is spent in the cemeteries with departed loved ones. We clean the area, light candles and offer flowers, eat and have a sort of family reunion in the cemeteries where all the departed loved ones are. It is only recently that I notice some schools having this practice. Otherwise, no, it is not part of our tradition or culture. I remember as a kid that I and my friends used to go from house to house singing X'mas songs for some candies or cookies. But that's during X'mas and this practice is still done today. |
