My Halloween in Sweden I can safely say, was a success! We had a lot of friends come dressed up, the atmosphere was great, food was eaten, and everybody left with a little Halloween kick in their heels.

The hosts were quite happy with the success of the party. It was completely exhausting preparing all the food and decorations in one day, but well worth it!  I had a giant spider attached in my hair, and snow white had some major eyelashes going on!

More impressive was our guests, we had a great home made mummy…

As well as a headless monster man…

But I think the winner of the costume contest that evening was the ninja turtle. Completely home made! True, he couldn’t eat or drink very easily, and had trouble sitting down. And when you put him on his back, he couldn’t get up again (just like a real turtle!), but it was still an amazing home made costume!

It was a great first Halloween in Sweden. The interesting thing was the smashed pumpkin in the morning. Is there something about jack o’ lanterns that create the urge for people to smash them?
