For kids, yeah.

I carved two pumpkins last night and am very proud of them, I should have taken pics!!

The kids will go out trick or treating tonight round our way and have a good time and then the Mum's will go back to one of the houses and have a drink. I don't see any issue with it, if you've got a pumpkin or lantern lit in your house, then people knock. If you haven't they shouldn't.

It's adults getting dressed up and having Halloween do's I don't get. It's a kids night ffs.

I believe all hallows is an Irish tradition mate.


Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.

yeah, that pretty much makes it pagan, like all religious festivals, everywhere. The ancient dieties of the sun or the moon will be involved somewhere in their dated histories.

No, not at all. I carved those pumpkins last night with gusto!

I still wouldn't go out dressed up to a Halloween do amongst other adults though. I've never really done the fancy dress thing though, ever.

Well up for a laugh, just not a dressed up and feeling a right prick laugh.

What is actually being celebrated?

The veil between the living and the dead being at it's thinnest, due to night surpassing day in length at this time of year. That's the pagan version. To Catholics, it's a day to pray for the souls of the departed (nothing to do with the Scorsese movie. Or perhaps it is).
