Halloween
I have to say I do not like the Halloween celebration in US. I was shocked when I first bumped into this many years ago. Could not understand how a Holy Day in the Church could be the time for breaking into houses and trashing gardens and emptying garbage bins all over the place. In fact they called it Mischief Night I think. It never seemed fun to me and I always wondered what all the Souls were thinking as they gathered for All Hallows Eve.
We used to gather at our houses and do very mild things like 'Bob for apples' in a tub of water..and tell ghost stories to scare ourselves. All very simple but enjoyable.
I wonder who started the begging for candy idea. Must have been candy manufacturers don't you think.
