The Yes/No Game

Love it going to the Pumpkin farm this week coming

Do you wanna come pick a Pumpkin with me ?
 
No, I do not. Lol

Have you ever had a supernatural or more specifically a paranormal experience?
 
Nope. I'm an empiricist 😛

Did you know that the whole jack o' lantern, trick or treat, and dressing up for Halloween thing originated in Scotland?
 
Yes. It goes back to pagan traditions where children would dress up as malicious spirits and characters from folk tales, go round the houses and perform tricks or sing in return for gifts or food. The act of guising (look that word up and you'll find the complete history) as the spirits and characters was intended to blend in with any spirits wandering on Halloween and protect the children from them. The jack o' lantern was originally a hollowed our and carved turnip with a candle inside carried by the children as a lantern. It was common practice Ireland as well I think.

Do you decorate your house for Halloween?
 
Turnips are hard to carve. Very sharp knife and keep your fingers out of its potential path.

We usually have a pumpkin with lighting inside and a bag of treats for the bairns 🙂

Do you have treats ready?
 
No. In the interests of environmental friendliness, reducing my carbon footprint, and ensuring that waste is kept minimal the treats this year will consist of pumpkin seeds

Do you like to minimise waste?
 
Yes I don't mind what day it is

Are you looking forward to Christmas?
 
Yes it's a happy fun time of year (if you avoid the commercial greedfest)

Do you celebrate New Year?
 
Yes. Then do a morning shift the next day hungover.

Do you get annoyed when Easter products are on the shelves in supermarkets on the 26th December?
 
I just ignore them. It's just a continuation of the commercial greedfest and I don't take part in that.

Do you celebrate easter?
