New Mexi-Castaways

Subject: Celebrating Halloween on land!

We all look forward to celebrating the holidays, whether Halloween or Thanksgiving. But what makes a holiday special? It could be the ability to gather with friends and family. It could be the keeping of traditions. It could be the sumptuous meals. It could be just breaking out of the norm.

For Rosa Linda Román and her family, celebrating Halloween on land is one of the reasons Halloween felt special and different, she admits. In this episode of New Mexi-Castaways, she delves deeper into some of the reasons why it felt special. Reasons which include, one, the accessibility to the things needed, e.g costumes and props for the day. Two, having both family and neighbors who could join in the celebration. And lastly, how easy it is to plan for holidays on land. Again, what makes holidays stand out for you? Leave your thoughts in the comments even as you listen to this episode. Enjoy!
