[dvtimes]

Your lucky. You do not need a costume (he he).

[blunt]

Great thing about Halloween is that I don't need to dress up.

[psl]

I think you shuld stay in DVT you will scare the shit out of most people the way you look, without make-up.

trick or treating is a stupid american custom, no better than begging.

[Simon]

I can't. It violates my parole.

[chloe-dove]

We are going to see saw 4 with a couple of mates. There have been dirty little chavs outside every shop near us asking for money for the guy and then we saw them going into the shop and spending the lot on sweets, it shocked me because it was really late, pitch black and they where well under 10. So i hate to think what halloween will be like.....best we get out of the house or i may do something nasty to them ;)

trick or treating is a stupid american custom, no better than begging.

:agree:

[Elisha Jade]

trick or treating is a stupid american custom, no better than begging.

Other than parties I seriously have never been trick or treating. When I was a kid I was always too scared and used to hide behind the sofa when they came to the door lol :D Then I grew out of the whole idea anyway lol

[WordsforHire]

I'm really fucked off. I ordered my costume for my party at the weekend and it's discontinued, the back up, that's discontinued and the spare one I like well guess fucking what....

Fuck knows what I'm going in now. Soooooo annoyed.

When did you guys start celebrating Halloween? I thought you just burned scarecrows and asked for pennies. Is this a recent thing?

Is your continuous insulting of our country a good way to get business?

[Damian]

Why were you insulted.

There's a difference between insulting and being insulted.

It is insulting to call me names, but that doesn't mean I am insulted by name calling.

[Damian]

And btw, taking the mickey is not necessarily an insult. It seems to get dished out in large gobs towards the yanks, and the krauts and the frogs and anyone else who crosses the line of fire. The latest being the Canadians. So, I don't think you have any reason to be sensitive.

I wasn't being sensitive. I have no pride in this country or loyalty to it whatsoever. I just was curious why you seem to have become a bit of a troll, that's all.

Maybe I am just mis-reading things. :)

[Damian]

I would say you are mis reading things. I

Ah, ok then.

[Damian]

I don't quite see the point

Never mind.

[Merlin]

I have no pride in this country or loyalty to it whatsoever.

I find this a bit odd actually. Even a bit sad. If you were born here or have made it your home that is.

[heidi84]

Im taking my lad hes going as frankenstein and i got a cute little costume for the baby which says im a little pumpkin on it so she can join in too hehe. Not looking forward to walking round in the cold like but its his first time going, told him to take his dad but he wanted me to go, probs cos i wont need a mask ;) (thought id get that in before anyone else does)

[smoothballs]

actually, doesn't Hallowe'en stem from a Irish tradition, got imported to USA by the Irish immigrants, yanks perverted it then it came to UK?

[smoothballs]

just looked up on wikipedia lol

Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, Halloween festivals, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and viewing horror films. Halloween originated from the Pagan festival Samhain, celebrated among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is now celebrated in several parts of the western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom.

The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day",[1] also which is now known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions,[2] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II calendar.

Many European cultural traditions, in particular Celtic cultures, hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world, and when magic is most potent (according to, for example, Catalan mythology about witches and Irish tales of the Sídhe).
