I'm going to practice the ancient Druid holiday Samhain, where you bring in all the crops before the frost, slaughter all the fattened livestock, place a feast of food outside for the spirts, and dance around a huge bonfire ... and this will guarantee a good growing year for crops, next year

What's to be happy about? just a lot of kids in poor fancy dress pretending to be something that doesn't exist, knocking on the door scrounging sweets or
money, on the threat of letting your car tyres down or spray painting your house !!!
Just another excuse for begging & vandalism.

Trying to find the real story
A US President (many years after Lincoln) officially declared Halloween a holiday in the US, to appease hoodlums from vandalizing cities (including Detroit), from setting thousands of arson fires
The first Halloween costumes commercially sold in stores did not appear until the 1930's

That's quite the sardonic outlook you've got there Blackwatch. I mean yeah, we basically jump start a child's obesity by giving them two to three pieces of neatly-wrapped sugar packets, but vandalism isn't very common around here. At least, it's not an issue in my neighborhood.
Happy Halloween everybody! :wave:

Sorry, but I can't help but think of a tent, a couple of shaking legs sticking out, with snow blowing around it in below zero temperatures. I mean, you live in Antarctica, right?

I got a good train ghost story. Every year, on the date of the accident, the ghost engines goes at it again!

Wish we were all so lucky, some of us live next to council (sink) estates where the human dross is provided with cheap housing.
Not seen anyone here for at least 5 years, they don't seem particularly interested in it, Village shop is now stuck with loads of masks costumes and pumpkins that they couldn't sell.....
