Halloween "Light" - Thursday, 31 October

There's little evidence of American-style Halloween here in Paris. Apparently some merchants tried to get the populace interested in decorations and costumes a few years ago, but it fell flat. I did see one woman with her two little kids in costumes this evening, but that's about it so far.

Except for the very cute and subtle decorations on the sidewalk tables of the café where I was "celebrating" happy hour. The proprietor had hollowed-out some oranges, cut Jack-o-Lantern faces in them, and made votives out of them! So I'm gonna call it Halloween "light" (groan!).

The good news is that you have plenty of time to copy this idea for your party table tonight.  You're welcome!
