After I settled down in Edmonton, I celebrated Canada Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Remembrance Day. All of them arevery interesting to me, but I have to say that the most enjoyable holiday is Halloween., M6 V" ^8 D+ T8 X! Y# P
My teacher told me I should prepare candies, and many children would come to my home and ask for them. So, I bought many candies from Zellers and Safeway. When I got back home with the candies, my wife told me that there were not enough, so I went to Safeway again and bought more.

' [/ r; W, `1 C: I! j; C( d- k+ LOctober 31st is Halloween. I got up very early that day. My wife prepared chicken which I was going to bring to class for a potluck. My child was very happy because she had already been waitingfor this day for a long time.! F# S3 I! P/ H4 S7 ]# E
In the afternoon, we had a potluck in the class. Yuong Sook, a Korean girl, made some sushi which looked very beautiful. Chun Yuan, a Chinese girl, cooked some bouilli which tasted very delicious. Of course my wife cooked the best food because they were all cleared off all gone.

When we gothome, it turned dark. My child said, “Dad, may I go out and ask for candies?”
5 A0 o9 g+ {( o! E3 p* G“Yes. Why not?” I said.

To my surprise, only three children came to my home, and I was left with many unclaimedcandies. And, one hour later, my child came back with a full bag. “Dad,” She said, “My bag is full. I have many candies now. What an interesting day!”; j% I1 w' M# c% I- A1 E8 V
“You are right, my child.” I said, “Halloween is the most interesting holiday in Canada, I think.”8 }$ C7 O, o: @
