I write to you the day after Halloween and I can safely say that the Chileans 'get it' and seem to love the American holiday of costumes, parties and going out looking for houses that might participate in the candy give away. Although, Chilean society has not fully accepted the idea of the American holiday Halloween, there is many people that love the idea of the candy fest and of course any and all of the children that are involved with any costume parties or trick or treating get really psyched for this event.
My Wife Lidice is in these two shots and then again with her nephew Rafael.
These little scene was in front of Lidice's families house and place out front by Tolo and Jasmine and canned handing out duties manned by cousin Jorge.
My wife's family and especially her cousin's Tolo and Jasmine go all out and hand out candy to the trick or treaters and make a nice scene of lights for the kids to know that there is candy to be had at their house. In this neighborhood their were many dozens of kids out searching for the houses that participated here in Santiago. The city was teaming until late with families out looking for a house that gave candy and they must have put in a whole lot of kilometers to quench the kids lust for sweets as you would only see maybe one or two houses on any street that gave treats. I did not hear any, "Trick or Treat!" the entire night and the kids with parents in tow would just show up and ring the bell and hold out their bags.
