The Dreaded Annual Halloween Kilt Thread - 2009

[Nighthawk]

I didn't realise that folks on the other side of the pond actually had Samhain (I'm a pagan) dress up days at their place of work!

Over here we used to have nothing , at work or at home, until about ten or fifteen years ago when we imported the North American 'trick or treat' stuff. Before that we had absolutely nothing and used to see you guys doing your thing on US sitcoms etc.

As for taking it into work, I think it'll be a few years yet before we pick up on that. But, as with all things American, it'll hop on a cyber boat and sail its way over here one fine day!

An interesting thread from a bemused onlooker!

Actually, some us still practice it as Samhain- myself for example- but I do allow my kids to participate in the more mainstream celebration. It's all in good fun so why not?

I think you'll find we have everything over here. Not a pagan, but the idea of new beginnings is kinda cool. It's gonna be real pretty with the moon nearly full.

Colorado is expecting it's first snow storm of the year to roll in tonight. I have the feeling that this is going to be a cold Halloween here. Cold nights with full moons in Colorado are always the prettiest.
