Halloween envy

[frualeydis]

I am officially envious of you all americans (and that doesn't happen very often!) for having Halloween. The commercial powers tried to sell in Halloween here a couple of years ago but it never caught on and it had a very plastic feeling anyway, like the whole purpose of Halloween was to buy stuff. It's very hard to transplant a custom like that, I can't think of any really successful attempts right now. So here we don't celebrate Halloween.
But I want to dress up! But not necessarily as something from a horror movie and it seems like when they tried to transplant the dressing up on Halloween custom to Sweden somone decided that only horror costumes would do. When I look at you party pictures and costumes it doesn't seem to be so in the US. I guess I could make a nice 16th century ghost.
There are some clubs/pubs that have Halloween parties here in town but I'm not really the type of person that goes out to clubs. And definitely not alone and I can't think of anyone to go with.
Sigh.
Why are there never any fancy dress parties???

Then you simply have to arrange your own party next year. Plenty of time to book the perfect place, send out invites, and for the rest of us to book flight/train tickets. I know I'd come. I'm sure others would too.
