I spent a whole week thinking about what to write, then it came to me; Halloween. Back in the days before Christianity Halloween was a festival, an event held to ward off the spirits of the dead and keep everyone safe for the next year from everything that goes bump in the night. We fast forward a few years and find that this festival is still held every year, despite the religion that founded it being dead. We still celebrate it, why? Is there a deeper meaning? Something meaningful about it? No. We just like dressing up in outfits, getting candy and setting off fireworks. So why do we keep it alive? Now, I enjoy cute werewolves, eating candy and watching fireworks as much as the next girl but, really? To enjoy a scary story that would have been scary any other day of any other month of the year? Or eat candy available to us any other day? I have to say, at such an expense, we are just giving shops another time to sell us pointless things that we don't need? I love Halloween but, I don't understand why we have to have such a holiday. Now, I am off to watch my scary movie that I got for Halloween.
