秋日的南瓜與萬聖




踏入十月便是南瓜節和萬聖節了!這期間一般美國家庭會將房子布置成鬼影聳聳又或帶小孩子參加秋收的戶外活動,
也是孩子们入冬前最後一个户外歡樂節日。人们制作五光十色的南瓜燈,品尝花样繁多的南瓜糕点。

上星期Ms A到了花農處看熱鬧,有小動物給小孩們餵飼,擺擋小食,大量南瓜、水瓜販賣。




 




秋天是南瓜豐收的季節,也是北美国家的傳统節日,每年10月中旬举行南瓜節。


 


 

 


 


南瓜分大小有不同價格,有上百元一个也有五元一個,甚至三元和一元,真係富貴由人。
 






 



最後當然有這個月尾的萬聖節擺設和面具任揀啦!


居在鄉下的我們,大人會会在萬聖節晚上將孩子「打扮」好並帶他們到每家逐門逐戶按響鄰居的門鈴,大叫:"Trick or Treat!"
屋內的便會開門給孩子分發糖果。







Hey Hey ~~~ Batman!!!

你唔好再食啦!你个大肚腩已經凸晒出來啦!


 



或者有人認為萬聖節是商人的揾錢商機,又或嚴厲批判此節日是撒旦又或鬼神用趣味去遮掩邪惡和咒詛,將恐怖當為樂趣

但若人心存善念,將此節日作為一个簡單又富娛樂兼能联誼鄰居的活動,又何常不可呢?

此節日之後便是我們長達半年的嚴寒冬季,想想都覺得寒氣迫人呢

究竟南瓜又和萬勝節有咩關係呢?
[沒有叮噹回覆10/20/2011 08:31:16]可以儲存起來~那即是無新鮮南瓜食.
[版主回覆10/20/2011 08:04:24]小飛...南瓜儲存時間也很長,可以慢慢吃 ;)
[版主回覆10/20/2011 08:02:25]冇關係只是秋收同一月份...most of the kids loves to do some commonly carved into decorative and put outside
[飛鳥回覆10/19/2011 22:23:25]咩關係就唔知,只知道咁大個南瓜點食得哂呀?分幾多餐來食好,哈

[版主回覆10/20/2011 08:06:42]最後那photo是花子門前,小草十分細心‧我也喜歡可愛的裝飾...太核突的裝扮我可不開門啊...XXD
[飛鳥回覆10/19/2011 22:28:03]聽你咁講,即開喇叭聽歌先,又真係幾貼題,好聽.
[飛鳥回覆10/19/2011 22:26:04]是嗎?那是花子門前嗎?唔講仲以為係店子門前的裝飾.
