Halloween is not very popular in Strasbourg. I have seen more decorations, candy, and holiday related items this October than I have in the past two years. These sightings are still scarce though. Here are photos of most of the glimpses of Halloween that I have had in 2011. Americans, enjoy your day dedicated to costumes and the collection of sweet treats. Have some candy corn for me!

| A display of costumes. I thought the armor headgear was historically appropriate for Europe. |
 |
| I was amazed to see a grocery store display of pumpkins specifically for carving. In France, pumpkins tend to be eaten instead of used for decoration. |

I love seeing those. They're so much more tasteful then the random decorations we saw in Cairo. They don't celebrate there either, but they had the strangest displays... I wish I could find my photos of them!!! It looks like you had at least a little taste of the All Hallows Eve!!!
