Happy Halloween 👻🎃

Do you like Halloween? Yes for me, I like the Halloween customes and decoration. However, it is not common to celebrate in Singapore (not a declared holiday Facepalm). Halloween is absolutely one of the greatest festive in United States. It's a joy to have children come to your door. You feel great handing out candy, smiling at the costumes, and admiring how cute the kids are dressed.
