At the risk of offending Christians, you are wrong, Miss Rita.
Halloween History

Bagster, I'm a Christian but you haven't offended me. A litle history lesson is a good thing.
I would like to say that the use of jack-o-lanterns however, does indeed have a looooong history also. It was used way beck when (I've heard they used gourds and squash also) to place around their homes to continue to ward off the evil spirits that might try to get into their homes while they slept.
Not trying to be nit-picky just wanted to share info that I was aware of. There are some sects within Christianity that think Halloween shouldn't be celebrated because of what commercialization and satanists have tried to make it become.
I say go back and state the true meaning and nature of Halloween and tell the satanists to go to "h-e-double hockey stick" pronto, if they think it's such a good place to be.
One bummer this year is that covid 19 will cut the number of trick or treater's way down, if any show up at all. I will miss seeing those bright eyed, smiling, little faces when they choose which candies they want to put in their candy containers.
