Love halloween
Dont love the way we've felt the need to adopt yet another americanism of trick or treating. Because we're soooo desperate to be like them.

"Tradition, Halloween. is becoming now."
Another casualty of Covid 19.
Roll on time until society can embrace the things that matter in life.
Time, love, laughter, good company, good wine, traditions.....(forgot something.....Fabbers are good at it.....can't think.....I am sure it will cum to me later).   |

When we were kids we were only ever dimly aware of Halloween and although I'd read about trick or treat in books I had no real idea what it was. It's a very recent thing in UK to people who aren't pagan and nothing like the original celebration of Samhain. |

We observe Samhain in my house, a celebration of the end of Summer and to welcome the winter, it is a a time for reflection, and letting go of the past for me
Always cook a big dinner and candles stay lit until the end of the 1st of November.
As for trick or treating, it is traditionally a Samhain ritual.

Turns out that fireworks form a large part of Halloween 'tradition' round here
Spent most of yesterday eve dragging the dog off the ceiling
Ended up giving up just after 8pm and let him get in bed with us - under the duvet, with Alexa blaring out to try and block the bangs out |

Halloween is an Irish Catholic celebration that they brought to America when they emigrated during the famine. November the 1st is all Saints or All Hallows’ day. Halloween is literally the evening before hallow evening Halloween |
