Halloween

We used to make TURNIP lanterns for Guy Fawkes night but had never heard of Halloween and pumpkins were in fairy stories.
A few years ago our then vicar used to quote a passage in the bible that condemns its, but I really can't remember where to find it.
Personally, I just find it a silly waste of money. And this is another household where you won't find any sweeties available to hand out to unknown children who turn up expecting free treats.

Thank you!

Lots of excited young children in our road, delightful to see, I’m glad the rain was only light.

No one since pre-Covid at this house.In our last a little chap used to practise a magic trick and come around showing people and a few came around dressed up in homemade costumes.
One year we were busy and did not hear the knock and the next morning saw the eggs that had been thrown at the house. DH said it was pigeons until I pointed out they nested in Spring and not usually with a date stamp on them.
I was also asked by a group of parents to take down a Harry Potter Frieze in school as it went against their religion.
As children, we had turnip lanterns, apple ducking, or tried to bite apples suspended on strings with our hands behind our backs but it was no big thing.
