I might be wrong about it being totally pagan. Although we don't celebrate it in any way except the CANDY and pumpkin way.....hahaNeomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483213915316279993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589973603624712149.post-87651773948197473282007-11-01T14:30:00.000-04:002007-11-01T14:30:00.000-04:00HI Cindy, that is what I thought, about us, but...HI Cindy, that is what I thought, about us, but no, they brought them out by the truck load, Ana said. <BR/><BR/>You are losing gas....hmmmmmmm I would think it is someone close, who would come all that way to get your gas........might be someone just down the road from you.....who found it easy once, so they are doing it again.

It has become an excuse for extortion and abuse. If the little devils (literally!) do not get the "treat" they expect you can often get eggs thrown at windows and cars and car paintwork scratched. Many people go out to avoid the callers or turn off all front lights and hide in back rooms - it is such a shame - but that is Britain these days.<BR/><BR/>(Like the addition of the clock - I got one to keep up!)Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589973603624712149.post-41159959591485606462007-10-31T04:43:00.000-04:002007-10-31T04:43:00.000-04:00It is popular here, but mostly with the children....It is popular here, but mostly with the children.....and adults who haven't grown up yet, haha.
