The American tradition of "trick-or-treating" probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
Just stopping by to say hi. We are hanging in here. We started out with 8 inches of snow last Saturday and then the the 20 inch blizzard on Wednesday and 2 more inches yesterday, and now we are in the deep freeze here. It was about -30 blow with the windchill when I woke up this morning. Boy, it's so cold. We are just going to stay in the house today and stay safe and warm. Hope your weekend is going good, and hope you are warmer then we are. Hugs, Vicky
Thanks so much for stopping by. Wow, 3 jobs, you are a busy lady. Try to take some time for yourself and enjoy life. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Vicky
There are still issues with the inboxes. I'll get on it tomorrow and see if I can't figure out what the problem is. I apologize for any unusual things that may occur during this time. Maybe we really are haunted!?
