Members Attitudes About Halloween

[Granite]

This year I'm going trick or treating as a corporate ladder and Jack is going to wear a suit and climb me. lain: My wife is going as a radical, so she'll mostly ride along in the car I provide while denouncing the entire business via social media.

:rotfl:

I enjoy the candy, especially the candy sold at a massive discount on November 1st.

I'm also fascinated by an apparent surge of interest in Samhain and All Saints' Day among educated young adults, especially those attempting to more thoroughly avoid the commercial aspects of the various holy days onto which American capitalism and marketing has latched.

Not too big on having any fun, huh?

_____
Samhain(pronounced Sow-in, Sah-vin, or Sahm-hayn), known most popularly as Halloween, marks the end of the third and final harvest, is a day to commune with and remember the dead, and is a celebration of the eternal cycle of reincarnation. Samhain (once again Halloween) is the most coveted sabbat by the Wiccan (and many Pagan) religions.
In the European traditions, Samhain is the night when the old God dies, and the Crone Goddess mourns him deeply for the next six weeks. The popular image of her as the old Halloween hag menacingly stirring her cauldron comes from the Celtic belief that all dead souls return to her cauldron of life, death, and rebirth to await reincarnation.

At one time in my life I was Wiccan and thought Halloween was a great holiday.

I am Christian now and I do not believe in Halloween.

I don't think 'Linus' registers here. Maybe Snoopy can sort that out...
