thebestnoseI've noticed the Admiral likes to celebrate holidays. But what does that actually mean for you? We might as well talk about something other than the fact that this place is turning brown and there are ghosts or pookas or whatever you want to call them. At least the colour garden hasn't wilted.
I've not learned much about this holiday, this Halloween, other than sweets and frights are involved. Not exactly the most informational, you realise.
But I don't really care much about this holiday now. If it involves all of this then I'm not sure I want to know the rest. Just tell me that not all of your Previous holidays are like this.
Also, does anyone know Morse code?

Yes. Eddie and I would talk to each other that way. Books, too.

Date: 2011-10-20 06:05 am (UTC)There's a lotta reasons behind Halloween. But it doesn't really involve all of this. It involves when people were scared that things this scary might happen to them, so they did things to try and keep themselves safe. Little ceremonies that I think set them at ease more than it actually kept them safe.
Eventually it turned into sweets and dressing up as people.

Date: 2011-10-20 10:26 am (UTC)Interesting how that seems to happen. What about the other holidays?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-21 04:16 am (UTC)Some of them are like that. Christmas shouldn't be at the time of year it is, because the sheep were in the fields. But the Christians needed to turn another winter festival into it to make the change easier for an overtaken culture. Then there's things like Thanksgiving. One one day for one country. On one for another. In another it doesn't happen at all. Some celebrate it with eating. Some with fasting.
Did you have any special commemorative days?

Date: 2011-10-20 10:28 am (UTC)hello, have a troll.
Date: 2011-10-20 09:42 am (UTC)And holidays are nothing but a distractionary tactic by the capitalist classes designed to make you spend more money and artificially keep their system afloat.
shoo, troll. g'way :c
Date: 2011-10-20 10:32 am (UTC)Why do you say that? I...how would it make someone spend more money?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-20 10:36 am (UTC)Because there's a compulsion with all these holidays, an expectation, that you have to buy presents, or costumes, or all sorts of ridiculous things.
