Hello my dear Steemians,

Hi @genomil, sorry for being late but as your post is not expired yet, I wanted to take part in the contest too.

I love all the mystery stories and of course, such holidays like All Saints’ Day, Halloween and if of course, I love the mysterious creatures like witches and ghosts.

For me, it is important to have good imagination, this is something that drives all the fantasy and magic in our life. Many because of that made our childhood filled with fairy tales, with speaking animals, good and bad characters. The fairy tales always end up with happy ends and that is very important for us when we are children because we need to grow with a strong believe that we should do good and be good that there is something that may punish us for bad things. Only if there is something that we respect as powerful all seeing then we will be good too.

For me, I do not celebrate those holiday as such but they are just there and it is good to have something special at home. I love decorating my house with even very simple something. Like for Halloween I like to buy some items like bath towel or hand towel with the images of Halloween or autumn. I like pumpkin and definitely do cook something with it. I have never carved a pumpkin face but it is in my to do list later on maybe next year, we will see.

I think all the holidays in many countries been commercialized, starting with sweets, biscuits, snacks that is something that our kids but also we adults love. I always buy some Halloween-themed sweets, fruit gums, also my colleagues and friends always have them at home and work.

As to cemetery, there is no certain day that I visit it just when I think I want to then I do. I do not wait until a certain All Saints’ Day or so to visit people who left us. I think it is more important that we remember these people and have gathering together sharing good meal together and stories.
