Re: Trick OR Treat
Thankfully, Halloween and trick or treat are not customary where I live (yet), although commercial interests are trying to introduce it...
Best wishes,

Re: Trick OR Treat
I've never been a fan. But I did find this Halloween/Astronomy article this morning which I thought was interesting:

Re: Trick OR Treat
I remember a cartoon once when the character stated that Halloween must be over, because Christmas stuff was already in the shops.
Now the Christmas stuff is in the shops perhaps a month before Halloween.

Re: Trick OR Treat
I have long been a fan of Nevile Shute and in (I think) the volume "So Disdained" his hero speaks of "quarter-days". The hero worked as a manager for a Lord of some description, and quarter-days were days when tenant farmers rolled up at the manor house to pay rent.
Can anyone elaborate on this? I suppose that the manor's quarter-days did not have to coincide with the astronomical quarter-days, although the rents might have been perceived as astronomical.
Thanks, Chris
