Colette gave pause as she was given the task of trying to explain a holiday that she herself was not terribly familiar with outside of what she'd seen on television. Apart from cities like Limoges, the holiday wasn't really celebrated in France and hadn't been widely celebrated in Germany until after her father had moved to France.
"Ah, it is... different in many cultures, but it is a holiday, a day of celebration. Children and adults dress up in costume, ze children go door to door and ask for treats, adults have zeir homes decorated to be scary.... spooky is ze word? It is a celebration of zings zat are spooky, yes. And an excuse to have a good time."
Colette shifted in her seat, the effect of her stretched out suit having an effect on her standard look, she had been forced to let out her skirts a bit. "It is an ongoing process, but it is working better every time. I am hopeful zat in a year or two I will be able to sleep normally in a bed wizout it... but I may be too ambitious."
