Why do we still ‘celebrate’ Halloween?
If anyone can give me 1 good reason, I’ll happily dress as Frankenstein’s monster for Christmas day.
I’d happily celebrate the end of harvest in Gaelic culture…. If I was Gaelic!
But dressing up as a witch or ghost has got to be the most distant topic to harvest I’ve ever heard of.
If you come back with “because it’s fun”, then that doesn’t count. Lots of things are fun, but we don’t throw spiders’ webs and fake rats in shop windows for it.
Or should I idle by mindlessly and throw on a cape?
Anyway, to celebrate this year, I choked on a Salmon bone. How apt? :-/
