It’s finally<\/strong> Halloween season, and in many parts of the world, including Sweden, temperatures are sinking and the trees are all changing color. Children are playing in the newly fallen leaves and teenagers are planning their Halloween parties. Adults are working in their yards or enjoying a nice cup of tea or coffee.<\/p>\n

But as a result of the dominance of American popular culture, Halloween parties have become a relatively common phenomenon, especially among the younger generations.
