Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2020 will occur on Saturday, October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honour all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats. We've got our Granddaughter coming trick-or-treating later so we have to make an effort. Normally just close the curtains hide.
It was Lou’s birthday yesterday. I often wonder if she was born a minute past midnight today, but they changed it to a minute before
We’re dragging a sound system up to a volcano tonight for a full moon party. All dressed as witches and warlocks .... Here in la Palma . Should be a good one .No cops up there !
Far too Americanised for my liking. We had Mischief Night back in the day Lanterns were made of a turnip (no pumpkins then) - then there was bob apple or duck apple , and eating Parkin
Correction. We are maneuvering audible devices, with appropriate uniforms, for an astro-social physiological volcanic experience. With questionable substances. Hopefully with lots of hippie chicks.
Yes we had mischief night, cotton on the letter box knocker, black treacle on outside toilet seats. Potatoes stuffed into exhaust pipes And best of all RAID EM, where you stole other peoples bonfire logs and tried to protect your own. shouts of Raid Em went on all night and kids dragging half trees around the streets to their bonfire pile as trophies won great days
