October is the best month of the year, and Halloween is one of its coolest days.
Halloween is very special for children. It’s a shame I can’t attend because my son is already 15.
However, we can get together with some classmates to celebrate this date.
That sounds great! I think Halloween is great for all ages.
Although I haven’t had the chance to attend Longhorn Halloween yet, I’m incredibly excited about the vibrant atmosphere and creative energy it offers! I can’t wait to immerse myself in the themed parties, see the fantastic costumes, and enjoy the sense of community. Looking forward to making unforgettable memories when I finally get the opportunity to go!
That sounds like a good plan. I hope you enjoy Halloween!
I have been in the United States for two years and I had not seen the culture of Halloween until now.
I love all the events
I love Halloween. I hope you enjoy it this year!
It is my first Halloween in the U.S.
I’m so excited for Halloween.
Great! I hope you enjoy it!
