We have many religious and formal holidays in Turkey. Turkish people love holiday like other nations. We have a similar holiday like Halloween. We named it “Festival of Sweets” It is totally takes three days.
During this holiday, people make desserts and meals for their visitors. Parents buy new clothes for children. It is a rule that you should warm the cockles children’s heart. Children visit every house and say “happy holiday”, afterwards, the house owner must give them money or candy. As you know, children always prefer to take money instead of candy. People respect each other. They should not fight. If two or more people took offense each other before, they have to end the fight during these days.
People dress up and visit their family. For this reason, especially in big cities local transportation is free for three days.
People give something as a present. I like this days very much. If you forget to call some friends or relatives, it is the best time to call or visit them. They can not complain, because people must get on well these days with everybody. You can call ex girl friend or huff friends, if you like. They will not say any bad thing.
