OMG, Joan, really? Halloween is my favorite holiday. I guess I just like dressing up and pretending .
Well, now is your chance to follow and pretend too!
As children we grew up with Guy Fawkes very low key in our back garden, Scottish Tradition 'First Footer' a couple of times.
Never Halloween, perhaps the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain just never arrived on our shores.
It is celebrated now, the younger generation dress up and thoroughly enjoy a good night out on the town dressed up. Not quite the way it happens in your land where people interact throughout the village, our ones are more private parties.
Same here Joan, but it's never too late not so;)
I'm going to try and make some gory candy and pass it on to a neighbour down the road who's busy arranging a Halloween trick or treat for the kids in our area.
Actually looking around the world Halloween has different connotation depending on region, some say it was Celtic new year, others once a year ancestors rise from the dead, many just go out and have fun.
Most children I know would prefer to learn about the mysterious Tikoloshe/Tokoloshe which they have heard about, perhaps not a bad idea to combine the little evil water spout with walking dead in a new years celebration. 😁
That would certainly give a SA twist on Halloween 🎃
Devil spirit you need more than a raised bed, afraid it has been hard at work over the last couple of years, yes it would be a strange twist.
I join you here Joan
There's always a first time for everything, it's us SA people that have only caught on now. You can always make a gory treat this year;)
Actually if you think back even Valentines day only became a 'thing' when we were in our late teens, another we never grew up with.
Well, there's always a first time: Halloween on Sunday....
Not here, no one does it. Something that the teenagers are taking interest in though.
