  "account": "Virginie Romary fell in love with Halloween when she moved to the United States 10 years ago. She enjoys the holiday's unique ambiance and creative spirit, which contrasts with the mass-produced costumes and decorations prevalent in her home country of France. Her 9-year-old daughter, lacking sewing skills, creates her own Halloween costumes by combining clothes and accessories to portray her chosen characters. These homemade costumes often stand out among the identical ones worn by other children. Virginie cherishes the opportunity for self-expression and creativity that Halloween provides, and she encourages her daughter to put in the effort to create something special each year.",
