The U.S. had a woman running for a Senate seat in Delaware that stated in a interview that she had "dabbled in witchcraft". Her name was Christine of all things.
Guess how she made out in the election?
One of the very, very few things I miss about living within a community is Halloween trick or treaters. The wee ones, under the ages of 7 or 8, are especially cute.
There are only a handful of year-round residents on the 8-mile stretch of road I live on now and my next trick or treater will be the first.

She got to be featured on the Daily Show and just about every left wing political show, not in person but her ad did. Rachel did much better and Cupper is going to grow up to appreciate her.

We are up to nine in one and half hours, down from last year. Need to start exercising to lose the weight I am going to gain. The last two were young and very sweet.
Believers seem to want to wrap all things holiday into their skewed perspectives.
They usurped the Winter Solstice celebration, and called it Christmas, from the pagans.
They usurped the Spring Equinox celebration, and called it Easter, from the pagans.
They usurped Halloween celebration, the night before All Hallowed day, from the pagans.
And then got all confused.
They whine and snivel about "taking the Christ out of Christmas" not recognizing that only in English does that even make sense, and now, the move is to instead disavow any connection to Halloween, getting all confused about its history, and now calling it devils work.
Well, sportsfan, Christmas is much more pagan. But oh no, that one you forget all about its roots.
Crazy, isn't it?
Minor correction - It's called Easter because of the european fertility goddess - eostre is a common spelling of her name. And the eggs and bunnies are hers. The word "estrous" is derived from her name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ēostre

NO, no, no, NO!
Nope, never gonna appreciate Rachel.
Factoid: I actually knew her father. He was much older than me.

Oh, I know. In Germany, it is still called Ostern.
