Plans for Halloween or Other Celebrations of the Season?

[Bugbear]

This past two years I have donned my goth kilt and gone off to Whitby (because of its association with Dracula) for Hallowe'en but this year I won't be going because I shall be meeting a lovely German lady who will be arriving in Scotland for a week. So I will be travelling to the airport on Hallowe'en 31st October and will be wearing one of my best 8-yard kilts to meet and greet my guest.

Hope all goes well, and you have a nice visit.

Interesting to read of Sevenoaks’s recollections of being given a small warm bun.
That would seem to be the “soul cake” I have read about that was a tradition of All Souls Day – actually 2 November. But it seems that traditions can jump days . . .
Regards,
Mike

There is a better Halloween tradition discussion thread on the forum right now: "Your Halloween/Samhain traditions," by Gael Ridire.

There are links to document sources describing Halloween and related traditions, and members are describing their traditions.

Hmmm, I can't really think of a way to make my kilt work as a Halloween costume.

I suppose it depends on the kilt, but I personally will be handing out candy dressed as Marvin the Martian, with my OD UK Original being the kilt.
