Halloween Frenched Style

I was once telling the Frenchies how Filipinos celebrate All Saint's Day and they were quite amused about the story. Don't be surprised why. Where in the world would you see people celebrate this day like a real fiesta? Aber?

Here in France, All Saint's Day is just an ordinary day. Old people would probably go to the cemetery to offer a prayer and a bouquet of flowers. But that's it. No fiesta! Younger generations would not even bother to visit the tombs of their loveones. They would rather spend this holiday vacationing somewhere.

So how did we celebrate All Saint's Day?

My SIL and family drove up to Dijon to spend a 4-day weekend with us. We spent the day doing outdoor and indoor activities (while Louna was having her siesta). We did a lot of eating and sleeping activities. We laughed at all the silly things that Louna did. We took a lot of pictures. We had real fun.

Take a peek:

Here's my favorite:

Here's some picture updates of Louna - the model ;).

I've always wanted a baby girl and have to content myself with looking at other people's baby girls. Louna is one cute baby and very stylish too!
I agree with you - people in other countries get stumped when they hear about how we Filipinos celebrate All Saints Day. They don't know what they're missing. ;)

pahiram naman yang coat niya with fur, punta ako UK sa nov 17, i think bagay din sa akin yan, hihihi.
Saan photo ni mommy na naka porms din?

Princess said...

Hi, Ana,
Louna's quite a charmer now. Can feel the love and happiness around you and family from those great pics.
Nakuha yata natin sa Spaniards the way we celebrate the day of the dead. Even here among the Mexicans, they celebrate the day very similar to how we do it.
Quite a discussion you had there about RP.
Take care.
