Haloween.

Funnily enough, it was Spielberg who helped promote it over here. Before ET was released, it was hardly 'celebrated' at all. I think it diminishes our unique Bonfire night imo.

Spielberg is to blame !

 

[ozseagull]

it's based on a massive date in the satanists calendar - in the satanic world it is a night for blood, sex, and sacrifice rituals..


....to dress ones kids up as demons, vampires, and ghouls is an action of an ignorant idiot. "oh but it is fun, my kid likes it" just doesn't really provide an adequate answer.

research the date, then choose what to do.

Same goes for Christmas and Easter then? Ban chocolate eggs, don't give the greedy kids presents at Christmas.

Who are you to criticise parents allowing their kids to have a bit of fun.

Am flying out to New York next week. They go ballistic over halloween

The stores out here have been full of Halloween tat for about the last 6 weeks, mainly stacks of chocolate bars so the little porkers can get even more obese.

If you are in New York for the 31[SUP]st[/SUP] its worth going to see the Halloween Parade which starts in Greenwich Village –always lots of amazing women about and some of the floats are pretty good.

We've had 'Guising' in Scotland ever since I can remember. It falls at Halloween, all the kids get dressed in fancy dress and go round the neighbours houses doing a party piece like a song or a poem in exchange for sweets or an apple, or at the house of the local alkie, the offer of a swig from his bottle of Buckfast.

Is this the first time we have agreed on something ! LOL !

No, there has been many other times.

The whole thing is an abomination from dressing 9 years olds up as whores, to the kids running riot, to the give me something or I will egg your house. Just DO ONE. I will make sure I am not in my house until after 10 pm.

It's ignorant neighbours who have a firework display without warning that winds me up.

Don't get me wrong, I like fireworks, have held a number of displays for Scouts and Guides, but when I do I make sure that everyone in the vicinity know.

I'd just finished boxing the horses when there were loud 'air bangs' from about 3 houses up the road - if I'd still been in one of the boxes I reckon I would have been killed! - as it is I have four very distressed horses and will have to check them when they have calmed down.

With a bit of forewarning I leave them in the paddock so they can run around without harming themselves or anyone else.

I was only joking with you. I know what you mean. As I said I used to hate it but 2 young kids have made me see it slightly different. 10 years time I will hate it again I'm sure

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Well I am doing one and will go to the cinema.

 

[BN9 BHA]

..Same here, I had a brief chortle, nearly developed into a guffaw.

..May I be the first to observe that it is "Halloween", not "Haloween".

It's All Hallows Eve as Nov 1st is All Saints day. It's just been shortened over time.
