A carved pumpkin on the bar at the Sandhamn hotel.
A pile of pumpkins at Hötorget market.
During the seven years I’ve lived in Stockholm, I’ve seen Halloween slowly creep into the culture. And as a Halloween loving American with fond memories of trick or treating, candy, costumes and parties, I couldn’t be happier.
When I first moved here, it was hard to find a pumpkin to carve. This year, even my local grocery had some. And I’ve seen quite a few carved pumpkins around too. Some friends told me they had trick or treaters last night. I’ve also been seeing Halloween decorations in stores, restaurants and bars. I know it’s silly, but it all feels like home to me.
More pumpkins and a witch at Hötorget.
And a ghost on Drottningatan.
