Sorry this is so incredibly late but I had loads of posts open in my tabs I hadn't got round to reading! Basically, I really agree with you on all of this I hate the totally commercialised aspect of Hallowe'en (ie. pretty much all of how it is to us at the moment) I think it would be really great for it to be more traditional and celebrate it in a way that means more than it does right now As it is, I don't bother with it I hate the idea of "Trick or Treat" and just going round getting sweets I like the dressing up but I feel like there's so much potential in this holiday that's not really taken up I learnt about the traditions etc. at one point but don't remember now! It sounded really interesting anyway and something that would be fun to celebrate in a proper way So yeah. That is all :) Hope you enjoyed your pumpkins :D
