RE: Halloween at home in Ireland
Nicely put @clodaghdowning. As well as inflicting River dance on the world we also balanced it out with Halloween. I do find it funny that every year the celebration grows here and like Irish bars it is something of a style we have imported from abroad. I loved the good old days of bobbing for apples and going to Moore street to buy illegal fireworks. Now it seems that commercialism has taken another victim.
Things were definitely simpler in the old days. Just dress up in yer best black sack and shout 'help the Halloween party' at everyone as loudly as you could. None of that trick or treat nonsense or hiring expensive costumes for us!
