Let´s change the subject

wow!! we are still celebrating Halloween.Thank you for all the contributions, but I should say that now Halloween is old history.
As a blog is something vivid and changing, I suggest we should celebrate other festivals, for instance British Bonfire Night and American Thanksgiving Day.

I hope you enjoy them!
