Does your family encourage enthusiastic Halloween celebration? What are your traditions?

If your family or country isn't big on the Jack-o-Lanterns, does the end of October have any other significance for you?

Where will YOU be in eleven days?
you can message me with anything: questions, review requests, rants

have you read this week's Squills?

I have my reasons for not participating in Halloween.

1. I'm a Christan

and

2. Zombies, vampires, witches, and ghosts are just creepy.

I'll be improving the diction of whoever missed all those 'g's.

Samhain is actually the Irish word for "November". We also call December "Nollaig" which means Christmas. Halloween is called Oíche Shamhna (Samhain Eve). We eat a lot of this stuff called barnbrack, which is just a fruit loaf but with things hidden inside it. Usually a ring- if you get a ring in your slice, it means you'll be married first. If you get a coin- you'll be rich, a pea- you'll be poor, a cipín- a cripple (we're such a nice race).

But it's become pretty commercialised now so even all those ancient roots of Celtic tradition have become very Americanised.

Me though, I have a big charity event the following day at 5 am. So I'll be making cupcakes and sleeping.

Candy all the way, and @Blackwood, you are NEVER too old for Halloween! (As long as you wear some sort of costume, otherwise you'll get a lot of dirty stares from your neighbors.) :D

That weird moment when you realize you're getting old and you're the one actually passing the candy to trick-or-treaters...

For in everything it is no easy task to find the middle ... anyone can get angry—that is easy—or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy; wherefore goodness is both rare and laudable and noble.
— Aristotle
