Happy Halloween, everyone! We had a spate of kids coming to our door for chocolatey goodness earlier but it seems to have abated. Check out this site to discover how Halloween is played out around the world. Perhaps most telling is how the French view the day:
Unlike most nations of the world, Halloween is not celebrated by the French in order to honor the dead and departed ancestors. It is regarded as an "American" holiday in France and was virtually unknown in the country until around 1996.
Also, check out the History Channel to learn about the history of the holiday.
And to any pagans/Wiccans out there, Happy Samhain!!
