Participar de uma das festas mais tradicionais dos Estados Unidos foi mais divertido do que eu esperava.O Halloween, surgiu entre o povo celta, que acreditavam que no último dia do verão, os espíritos saiam dos cemitérios para tomar posse dos corpos dos vivos. Para assustar estes fantasmas, os celtas colocavam, nas casas, objetos assustadores como, por exemplo, caveiras, ossos decorados e abóboras enfeitadas. Por ser uma festa pagã foi condenada na Europa durantea Idade Média, quando passou a ser chamada de Dia das Bruxas. E aqueles que comemoravam a data eram perseguidos e condenados à fogueira pela inquisição.
O caminho até a parada do Halloween, na sexta avenida aqui em Nova york foi bastante engraçado! Pais, filhos e até cachorros sentados nas portas dos prédios e casa distribuindo doces. As crianças saem em comitiva fazendo a famosa pergunta: Trick or treat? (traquinagem ou doce?).
Para quem nunca viu, o desfile é bem interessante. A polícia fecha as ruas e coloca grades nas calçadas. Assim o povo desfila com organização e à vontade. O único problema é o frio. Os que esqueceram disso tiveram que incluir um casaco à fantasia.
Também têm umas tiazinhas que montam os seus arcenais na porta de casa, se fantasiam e, além de deixarem os doces disponíveis para que quiser levar, tiram fotos com todo mundo.
Ao contrário do que muita gente pensa, a festa não exige apenas fantasias macabras. Com o passar dos anos, as pessoas foram deixando de lado o visual macabro e agora se vestem dos mais variados temas. Bruxas, vampiros, animais, personagens de histórias infantis ou de filmes como Indiana Jones, frutas, celebridades e as mais diversas profissões. Havia tanto monstros bizarros pelas ruas, quanto personagens doces e amáveis. As mais originais eram de amy Winehouse, Iphone e Sarah Palin.
Tem muita gente que vai ficar com saudades. Ouvi muita gente dizendo que a festa deveria durar uma semana de tão legal que ela é. Mas olhe que se você pesquisar dá para se divertir fantasiado mais do que 7 dias.
No começo de outubro as pessoas já começam a enfeitar as ruas, lojas, bares e restaurantes com o tema. E festa de halloween é o que não falta na cidade. Me diverti tanto que já estou pensando na fantasia do ano que vem.

Participate in one of the more traditional festivals in the United States was more fun than I expected. The Halloween, Celtic emerged between the people who believed that in the last days of summer, the spirits out of cemeteries to take possession of the bodies of the living. To scare these ghosts, the Celts placed in homes, frightening objects such as skulls, bones and decorated pumpkins adorned. Being a pagan festival was condemned in Europe during the Middle Ages, when they came to be called Halloween. Those who celebrated the date they were bonfire prosecuted and convicted by the Inquisition. The road to the Halloween parade in the sixth avenue here in New York was pretty funny! Parents, children and even dogs seated at the door of the home building and distributing sweets. Children entourage leaving on doing the famous question: Trick or treat?. For those who never saw the parade is quite interesting. The police closed the streets and put bars on sidewalks. The only problem is the cold. Who forgot that, had to include a coat of costume. They also have some goody who set up their own Arcen on the door of the house, where costume and, in addition to leaving the sweets available so you want to take, take pictures with everybody. Contrary to what most people think, the party not only macabre costumes. Over the years, people were leaving aside the look and macabre dress is now the most diverse topics. Witches, vampires, animals, characters from children's stories or films like Indiana Jones, fruit, celebrities and the most diverse professions. There was so bizarre monsters on the streets, how sweet and kind characters. The most original were Amy Winehouse, iphone and Sarah Palin. I heard many people saying that the party would be one week. But look who gives you search for fun whimsy more than 7 days. At the beginning of October people begin to decorate the streets, shops, bars and restaurants with the theme. And festival of Halloween is not what we lack in the city. I had so much fun that I am already thinking about my costume of next year.
