    Samhain is a pagan religious festival originating from an ancient Celtic tradition. Do the people in the photo even know where this holiday comes from or represents? This is cultural appropriation.

      Then stay home Palmdale Pumpkin. Cover you windows, light candles, chant, do whatever. Let the kids go have some fun. They know nothing about Samhain, or do they care. They want to have fun, get some candy, wear costumes.

      I can’t wait for commentary on the pagan aspects of the Christmas tree and Easter eggs.

      The life of the party I bet.

      Halloween isn’t “pagan” to any of them. It’s an early life lesson on the welfare system: go around and get candy you didn’t buy yourself, from people you don’t know. The nicer the neighborhood, the better the candy you’ll get.

      That’s all they care about.

      They don’t care about Druids, ancient groves, goblins and pagan chants in Ireland and Scotland.
