All Hallowed Evening
Whether you celebrate Celtic New Year’s Eve [Samhain], the evening before All Saints Day [Halloween], or the anniversary of the posting of Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses in 1517 [Reformation Day], have a happy one.
Wikipedia does its normally thorough job of covering all of the bases on the holidays that share October 31st.
These are my remembrances of a traditional American Halloween.
Locally COVID and the cold front altered normal activities for this holiday. No information on the ‘Autumn Festival’ across the street. If unGovernor Dementis had taken the minimal steps required or stopped interfering with local government we might have seen a semi-normal Halloween, mini-Trump has to prove he’s Trumpier than Abbott of Texas.
