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.
