"Where's Samhain;>?"

[mdehners]

So....it's THAT time of the yr in parts of the US where the argument about WHEN Halloween will be Celebrated AGAIN. It used to be just the Fundies who didn't want "The celebration of a Satanic holiday on the most Holy Day of the week" or the night before(because they might not show up to church 'cause the kids are in a Sugar Coma). Now, you get to add the "Convenience Police". These are the twits that don't want it on days('cause you can't have Halloween at night, dontyanoit)that are inconvenient to their "Lifestyles". Personally? I find the complaints from some of my Pagan, Heathen and Wiccan friends about the latter Amusing because so many of them do the same things to their own Holy Days...which, to me is more egregious.
Since the general consensus in my town is that it will be today, starting at 1700 and go till Dark(probably about 2000), that's when we'll be "open". For those who come tomorrow and Saturday..."Sorry Charlie".
Cheers,
Pat
