Dinnertime

Americans consider the dinner an important event or a “holy time with the family”. According to a recent study seven in ten American families have dinner together three or more times a week. But there is one interesting thing – some of these families have dinner with the television on. Everybody describes this moment together as calm and enjoyable. What about Brazilian families? It’s the opposite. Few Brazilian families have dinner together (two in ten), and most members prefer to watch TV while they eat. Also, the dinnertime is very fast – from 10 to twenty minutes – and they don’t talk usually.

Halloween

Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. In some American states it’s more celebrated than Easter and Christmas combined! The American Halloween tradition of “trick-or-treating” and the dressing of costumes were both European and Celtic roots. The Celts were the most superstitious people of ancient times. They believed that evil spirits came to earth during the long winter nights. So, on the last night before winter, they made bonfires and wore ugly costumes to scare the evil spirits away. Modern Halloween is less scary than it was in the past. At Halloween parties there are prizes for the most beautiful costumes.
