Halloween is huger than ever here this year. Much bigger than it's ever been previously. I don't mind really because it's a fun festival and upsets some really uptight people.
I'm a little bit sorry it's replacing our local festivals though. Halloween is too close to our Nov 5 celebration, Guy Fawkes Night where we make huge fires and let off fireworks to celebrate a failed terrorist attack in 1605. This however is only scratching the surface, after talking to locals in my adopted home of Manchester it turns out that Trick or Treating is remarkably similar to a practice known as 'Copper Coaling'(sic) that seems to have died out at least 20-30 years ago and took place at this time of year(Samain). Children would annoy their neighbours by turning up with a copper pot and some peices of coal and sing a little song (fal-ala-loo!) for which they would recieve treats. Even weirder is the Mayday tradition of 'Polly dancers' where little boys would dress as little girls and get money from their neighbours. This androgynous pagan throwback was last performed in Manchester during the 1950s and may be linked to Morris dancing which is largely a Victorian invention. There. I don't suppose anyone's too interested but it's nice to think this old knowledge is recorded somewhere. Happy Halloween everybody!

It's not against the rules, as far as I know. I'd love to see it; go for it.

I had costume issues. My mother wanted to wait until the last minute to get our costumes, because she heard from a friend that they're cheaper closer to Halloween.
I would like to point out that almost all costumes for people over the age of twelve are skanky and slutty. Therefore, I found nothing. Partially because every store we went to was practically empty, and also because I could never make up my mind. So I decided to go as Darth Vader because my brother has a toy lightsaber and a Darth Vader voice changer mask. My dad was kind enough to buy me a little kid's Darth Vader suit at the drug store today for six bucks so I could use the cape and belt. I've got a black sweater an an old pair of black dance pants as my outfit... I checked about ten minutes ago, and it looks like the voice changer's batteries are dead. Oh, well. At least it looks better than the stupid foam one that came with the little kid's costume. Hey, I'm just happy to have a costume- there are plenty of people who can't afford to buy a costume. -Marty/Darth Vader
