Not so much the Great Pumpkin, but a pumpkin patch? Like most things in Warsaw, Halloween is catching on. They don't celebrate the holiday like we do in the States, but get a kick out of the Americans going all out. A limited amount of costumes are available, but no trick or treating.
We were quite pleased to find a pumpkin "stand" on the side of the road near Thing 1's school. It was the closest thing to a pumpkin patch I had seen here. We stopped by and purchased a few pumpkins for our house and for Thing 1's pumpkin carving activity at school. The kids had fun picking out small pumpkins for themselves.
At school, the reaction to pumpkin carving by the parents from other countries was simply amazement. You would think that they had never seen a pumpkin carving. The Cat volunteered for this activity and he told me that he was approached by several parents asking if they could take one of the pumpkins home.
Halloween - taking over the world one country at a time!
