In Praise of Shamhain & Halloween
The time of the year when the veil between the world of the dead & the living is said to be the thinnest.
Bring out the black blouses & long coats from the back of the closet, carve a pumpkin, put a plummy lipstick on a pale face like a gothic heroine and light a (scented) candle for your beloved dead. Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteHalloween is not big here but ... the shops are trying to make it so! LOL
Yep, I had lollies for them.
Is it big in Greece Helg???
M,
ReplyDeletehow lovely for you! That's cute. :-x
Here it's practically non-existent, we have our own Carnival* at the same time that Venice and Rio have their own (in February) and that lasts for 3 whole weeks!!!! (Yeah! Frolicky frenzy and a day of intense BBQ meat eating)
But it's a nice tradition in the original Mexican manner where it's the Day of the Dead right next, so lighting a candle for the dead is a nice touch.
*Carnival, ending in Ash Monday, precedes Lent.
Oh those Greeks know how to Party!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou can say that again! :-D
