I'm the master of fright, and a demon of light
and I'll scare you right out of your pants
Happy Halloween
to you all! It is finally here and I am going to check the
weather outside right now... Damn... it
is only mild out there. I was hoping it would have been slightly
chilly out for the sake of the day! Did you change
your clocks? They were set back last night! Don't be left that
hour behind!
? The Irish
carved Turnips and put coals or small candles inside. They were
placed outside their homes on All
Hallow's Eve to ward off evil spirits. They were also known to
use potatoes and Rutabagas. ?
