We don't really celebrate Halloween in Italy...

...but my family had these cute wax pumpkins lit up on the balcony for a few nights till All Saints! These are items sold at my father's shop, where I'm currently working, and last week we dressed a whole window with big and small pumpkins, together with orange and black candles and various items. Customers really liked it and we received a lot of compliments :))  Below a not-so-horrible picture I managed to take of it :)
So, we don't officially celebrate Halloween, but we have a holiday on the 1st November. That meant a longer weekend for a lot of workers, with no work on Monday, and so I decided to invite a friend of mine over for dinner (omelettes) and a movie. My mom even thought of setting up the table with orange paper napkins for a Halloween mood ^^.
It's been such a long time since I last spent a night watching horror movies with my friends, but this one in particular unfortunately doesn't like scary movies and we only ended up chatting and watching a romantic thriller with Matt Damon, The Adjustment Bureau.
Indeed, I didn't spend an eccentric night, but I still really enjoyed myself! 
Who else loves movie nights? :D
