Today lots of children will knock on my door. TRICK OR TREAT will be the first word they're going to say. Why?

because all the traditions which are parties it's easy to become important in anothers countrys, because people like to have fun.

I also think it's become important because now a days are a big globalization because of media communication and it helps to know the traditions from anothers places.

'Trick or Treat' are the words pronunced by American and Canadian children when they knock your door on Halloween day. Children demand sweets or a small amount of money and, if you don't have, they might play you a joke. I think Halloween is becoming popular in Spain because, on one hand, the people want to amuse and, on the other hand, the business need increase yours sales.

"Halloween comment":

"I think that every place and every country, town...has his owns habits, parties, food...and we musn't lost them. It's good to know about others cultures and traditions, but we never must lose ours owns and we don't allow the foreing replace them.
T.V and american films have introduced halloween here. The same that "reyes magos" and "papa noel""

I think Halloween has become so popular because here in Majorca there are a lot of foreing people. They have brought their traditions and spanish people like parties. I think it's fanny.

I agree with Norka and Antonia, it means that in Spain and in Majorca
there are lots of foreign people who has brought their traditions to us,
and it is one more consecuence of the migration movement in the world. The
fact that Spanish and Catalan traditions are being aparted by others which
are thinked more modern, is demonstrated with things as Haloween party.
Also, I think that is one more reason to disguise and to have a good time
and this has helped very much to implant this party in Spain.
