Congratulations Ryan!

Awesome costume on the girl, Jeff!

I will try to post my son's later. He had the audacity to announce on Tuesday afternoon (after knowing about it for two weeks) that he needed a costume for a play in his parochial school. I got home to see my wife in our version of Runway! She took a bedsheets and a curtain and made him a terrific St. Thomas of Aquinos costume. My only input was a feather pen and grabbing one of my book (storage boxes one hides in a library) to make it look like a Bible. He took it to school today... not a peep but I am so proud of my wife's work.

Autumn Fun Day!... The PC police are in control...

I am a Catholic and fully aware that it is based on All Hallows Evening which brings us to All Saint's Day (All Hallows Day), and All Souls Day on November 1st and 2nd respectively. Yet, anyone can enjoy it as no one points to the religious thoughts behind it. It sort of makes one wonder of other holydays (oops holidays) which have been changed such as Christmas (is that Winter Fun Day now?), Easter (Spring Fun Day?), or even Thanks Giving (recall that the Pilgrims prayed to give thanks) which is now the special meal one eats to run out the door and be stampeding for the Black Friday specials!

I am getting cranky and old. I had to take a day off but don't feel better.

Saul,

I'm a history teach and an Anglican (Catholic Light). All Hallows is based on the ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain.
December 25 was chosen so that Romans could more easily assimilate to the new faith and because there was a huge Roman celebration (Saturnalia) around that time. The Church was very good about mixing Christian and pagan celebrations and ceremonies together to make it easier for the unbelievers to assimilate.

I see this whole thing as a stupid attempt by a few sour, bitter groups to spoil the fun. I have heard of towns where the stores cannot have a Santa Claus... What next, no fireworks on the 4th because a 3 month old baby was scared?

Od course, I am a militant at Christmas... I wish everybody a Merry Christmas... screw happy holidays

Amen to that and also on shopping on thanks giving .

We are supposed to be with family being thankful for the things we have. Our family does just that.

This country's founding fathers were Christians, so let's honor that !

Well, let's leave it at that. I know Jeeves had no say as to what the school board wants to rename it. As I wrote. I am just grumpy and took a day off as a break from all this Ebola preparations done in the hospital only to find that the patient is a doctor who went to Manhattan instead of Brooklyn (with the largest African population in the city).

No politics or religion guys.

The name of the day is Autumn Fun Day and leave it at that. Thanks. :drinks

Nothing for or against Halloween....just celebrating all the Autumn holidays is all ;). A chance for the kids to spend the day enjoying the last bit of good weather. All the pre-K through 5th then had a costume parade around the track ;)
