After I came to Edmonton, I celebrated Canada Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Remembrance Day. All of them are interesting for me, but the most interesting holiday is Halloween.

When I came home with the candies, my wife told me that there were not enough, so I went to Safeway again and bought more candies.
