Canada report # 4

Canadians - their kids turn in to adults but adults turn in to kids (at least once a year)
Halloween is the most bizarre Canadian holiday I know (maybe Labor day could be an exception, because how do you celebrate labor day, by not working? But some other time about that)
So on Halloween kids become so seriously obsessed with the plans of dressing up and impressing others that you would have a hard time believing that they are still kids. They prepare for this night like entire destiny of human kinds depends of the outcome of this candy hunt. Even if they do not like candy they will still strive to get a lots of this sweet currency. "Trick or treat" becomes the national anthem of the entire population of these little creatures. The invasion begins and the day of the rule of these little monsters begins. Finally they look exactly who they are or who they want to become.
However most amusing is to observe the adults. Some become more obsessed about camouflaging their children then children themselfs. Secrets of unfulfilled childhood dreams are coming out and excitement grows in eager expectation to hear this magical, "Trick or treat!"
Even those who do not like this holiday do no like it with passion worthy to be nominated as the prepuberty attitude of the year.
Anyhow, being an alien, it is most amusing and yet almost sad to observe all this lunatic madness. Sad not for them, but sad for me not being infected by this mysterious sickness called Halloween.
Canadians - one night a year they are out of this world.
