You may appreciate this;
Last Saturday I went into K-Mart, at the door was a young girl, checking bags, and greeting customers I assume. There next to her was a large stack of grotesque looking plastic pumpkins, and a large sign $39, a Halloween special! I looked, I turned to the young lady, and with my dry wit I said; "Nah...I have half a dozen of those plastic pumpkins at home already, do I need more?" The shop was full of people, with arm fulls of useless rubbish scuttling to and fro, lining up eager to pay for even more useless rubbish.
"Halloween, contraction of All Hallows' Eve, a holiday observed on October 31, the evening before All Saints' (or All Hallows') Day. The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints and initiates the season of Allhallowtide, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls' Day."
Consumerism has taken over Paganism, with plastic pumpkins @ just $39 each. Long live America!
