Comments on: Ebeltoft http://rezio.net/dk/?p=4117 An American in Denmark Wed, 12 Apr 2017 16:57:59 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.41 By: Adam Trujillo http://rezio.net/dk/?p=4117&cpage=1#comment-34320 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 21:11:21 +0000 http://rezio.net/dk/?p=4117#comment-34320 More and more. Halloween seems more popular here every year. It’s easy enough to understand why kids like it, especially since they already have a similar holiday in February, but it’s not unusual to talk to Danes that think it’s embarrassing that Danes are so eager to adopt American traditions.

On a related note, this morning I took Ellen to day-care. I was aware that it was Halloween, but it never crossed my mind to dress her up or anything. We got there and probably half the kids were dressed up. I felt like a pretty crappy American, showing up with my un-adorned daughter, but on the other hand it would be embarrassing to get her all dressed up and show up to a room full of normally dressed kids. So, maybe next year…

(And as for Storm, his socks were actually still dry when we got back to the house, thanks to quality rain gear.)
