Halloween....

[northernblue]

Reading this thread makes me wonder for the future of csc.

I can't help but read every post thinking it is missing the obligatory...
"Back in my day..." *shaking the walking stick and pushing the glasses back up on the nose and leaning back into the rocking chair tucking themselves back under the blanket*

I feel like a toddler because my age starts with a '4'.

Halloween is very much about having a little fun. The origins mean little nowadays.
It's a bit like Easter. Original meaning is largely lost (to the younger generations at least) and its just about having a bit of fun with the kids.
To those who disagree, can you tell me what the Easter bunny has to do with Jesus? Chocolates? Eggs??

Halloween pre-dates the Americans, so you can get that bee out of your bonnet too.

Listen kid, I don’t even do xmas.
As far as I’m concerned if you want to “celebrate” xmas you should need to show a card that you’ve been god bothering at least 20 maybe 30 times a year so if there’s no regular god bothering then there’s no xmas birthday cake !
Same for the ritual nailing some clown to a wooden cross.
I’m happy to respect those who think their invisible sky friend helps to make them better people but I have zero time for those who just want 4 days of paid holidays.
