Halloween is not a big deal in Switzerland, but it is gaining popularity. My friend Jelena's neighbor who is American always has a big Halloween party, so we went on Saturday night. I bought/made my costume Saturday night after work (nothing like waiting until the last minute!). I got ready at Daniela and Mariana's and we first made these treats for the party that I had seen on pinterest. They are "eyeballs" if you couldn't tell, but basically buckeyes dipped in white chocolate instead of milk. They were really good!
Here is my costume. There wasn't much of a selection at the store, and then I made the red "fire"/tutu.
Jelena was definitely the craftiest of all. She made her owl costume completely from scratch:
A witch and a cat rounded out our crew. As you can imagine, we got plenty of stares and people talking about us on the tram. As I said earlier, Halloween is not a big deal here. Here's a picture next to the scary decorations:
And more pictures from the party:
It was a really fun night!
Saturday was also the first snowfall of the year, so I woke up to this:
We got about 4 inches of snow Saturday/Sunday, but it's still too warm to stick to the ground.
Happy Halloween!
