Yes. Definitely.

Well isn't that nice?

October...eh?

Spoopy

More plastic rubbish for the stores to sell. A pre-Christmas when it comes to decorations.

I'm not American, but from a distance it looks that way. From a simple carved pumpkin next to the front door to entire houses with decoration in a few decades.

This side of the Bravo Besides halliween we have all hallows Eve and all souls Eve on November first and second.
The second is more commonly refered as Day of the Dead. Where we commemorate those departed with offering of whatever food they enjoyed while living.
I really prefer it over Halloweenans it's high plastic and sugar content.

Thank the Aztecs for being too much of a pain to culturally bleach off the face of the earth, then. There was not enough Jesus Juice to wipe out everything, so the missionaries had to find a way to re-brand some things to make them acceptable within the christian paradigm.

Well it is hard to remove a whole culture from the face of the earth specially if there are still people of that culture living, I am part nahua, or aztec as most of my fellow countrymen. Yet rebranding stuff to be more Christian has been one of the most successful ways of spreading the religion around. Happened with all-hallows eves, Easter and to some degree Christmas.
Err.... Anyhow have some cute cempasuchilt flowers!

We cannot change the past, only our views about it.

Happy Halloween everyone!
