Halloween in Brazil

At this time in Brazil we have a halloween holiday. Usually people don't decorate their hoses like in the United States. There are some parties that people attend dressed in costumes. They don't do trick or treating like here. Also, there are no halloween stores and the date is not included in the calendar. In the United States children are involed in halloween while in Brazil is more adult celebration. Unlike Cristhimas and Easter wich are celebrated in the Catolic Church, most of the symbols and traditions about halloween came to Brazil through American media and comercial influence. I have never partipated in halloween celebrations in Brazil, but I think the holiday is interesting. In Brazil we don't have native holidays that celebrate witches, demons, and ghosts.

How did I meet my husband

I have a friend in Brazil who was dating with my niece. One day he told me that he wanted me to meet his American friend. I wasn't thinking of dating just then so I said no. In December of 2003 I was working and he called me and said that his American friend was at his house and he wanted to meet me. I said I didn't want to, but his American friend started to talk with me by phone. The next day he called me again and I said that I wasn't interested in meeting him. After a week he convinced me and I decided to meet him. I was late and he almost left. I remember he was very upset, but when he saw me he said I am not upset anymore. We satrted to go out and get to know each other. Ater two months I knew that I was falling in love with him. We got married and I am still falling in love with him.
