1. Randall is cool beans!

2. Oh, hey, Randall, thanks for the low of brow approximate grasp of the history of All Hollows Eve.
   We are enlightened.
   Oh, and you noticed that Halloween picked up again in the 80s, when drag queens got on to the idea, and white bread America started buying Chinese blow up plastic crap for the front lawn, etc.
   Yup, finished the Internet, and avoided the kids again with my lights off.
   Happy November.

3. the cross quarter days used to have more significance .

   In modern times, the four cross-quarter days are often called Groundhog Day (February 2), May Day (May 1), Lammas (August 1) and – the most sinister cross-quarter day because it comes at a dark time of year – Halloween (October 31).

4. Being more or less Irish, I’d like to point out that Halloween originated in pre-Christian times with Samhain, the end of harvest festival. All the witch and pumpkin stuff was tacked on MUCH later. Not a festival of the dead at all.
