Halloween is not a festival of ghouls and witches and horrible corpses with blood coming from their nostrils, although, you might be forgiven for thinking so when you walk around the stores and see the weird mix of costumes and masks on sale.
Cut a cross shape in your pumpkin and leave Freddy K to RIP
What are we thinking of? We howl and scream at Jimmy Savile's alleged abuses of young girls and then we shove our children out on to the streets to trick or treat or to some macabre party. Ugh!
Hallowe'en is really All Hallows Eve as I am sure all readers of this blog know too well.
It is All Holy Eve, the night before we celebrate one of the great feasts of the Church, All Saints' Day.
So dress the little dears up as saints, have plenty of fun by all means (though adults might wish to fast and do penance in readiness for the following Feastday), eat sausages round the fire and cut potatoes into halos, stars and crosses - that's all good, clean fun.
Thanks to Gail for the picture.
