And Jesus celebrated it with His desciples. :) The Fantasy and Folklore of All Hallows http://www.loc.gov/folklife/halloween.html Thanksgiving, OtoH, is a Massachusetts-Puritan, Mayflower-Pilgrims thing. I should boycott it as I am, for last several years, concerned that Virginia colony (1584) & New York (1612) were here before Mass-Mayflower (1620). In elementary school, I believe they told us that the Mayflower was the 1st ship to bring colonists from England to the New World. So even back then, the schools had screwed our history lessons. But Hallowe'en is pretty cool as long you have fun! P.S. NM St. Augustine's (1565)! ====================== A man's gotta know his Holidays, Doc.
