When I worked in retail quietest months/periods of the year were February/March and October....

So they pushed Valentines day and Halloween.

All commercial based

2 worst days of the year

Bro, read a bloody book.

Hallowe'en derives from the Gaelic celebration of Samhain which denoted the end of the harvest. Yes, they used to sacrifice (livestock, not people), but this was a common theme among many tribes and cultures in those days.

It was your fine and dandy priests that made the connection to the devil and the term "All Saints' Day" that became Hallowe'en ('hallows' = saints) a few centuries afterwards (fear cultivates compliance and all the jazz).

The only thing those poor wiccans did was say that Samhain was the day in which the divide with the "Otherworld" was most blurred.

I wish I knew people like this in real life.

Glad freedom is finally starting to take hold in England. No country should be without costumes at the ready.

Glad that’s over with for another year. Largely though not entirely managed to avoid silly people dressed up.

As I said above, the signs are all there on display. Not my problem if people choose to ignore them.

Thought it was pretty obvious that I’m part of that ‘peculiar people’ as the Bible itself writes.

Next up is that other despicable time of year known as Christmas. Watch me tear that to shreds too.

Enjoy the fireworks, haven’t got anything against the day itself.

That makes sense that you would be onboard with the celebration recognising terrorism

The thwarting of a Catholic plot to kill a protestant King of England is exactly the kind of celebration he can get behind.

Oh, the 2 wolves are out to get me. Did you remember to put on your sheep’s clothing?

Thought most people didn’t mind bonfire night.
