The History of Halloween

[Anto9us2]

There are good memories of Halloween when I was a boy. I always liked the all-black costumes with skeletons on them, a skull mask...

The earliest memories of something bad on Halloween were stories of people putting razorblades in Apple's to hand out to kids
Then there were Satanists who captured black cats for sacrifices, we always had black cats and kept them inside days before Halloween...

But we should not let the devil destroy our good times.

One Easter when I was little they were selling dyed chicks, I ran home with the little chick in my fist and held it too tight -oops.

Then there was Christmas, lying to my son that there was a Santa Claus...

One New Years Eve was a party at Roy's girlfriends apartment, I noticed Roy wasn't there, then someone handed me a phone, it was Roy "I'm taking Sylvester to the hospital and I ran out of gas"

I left and we got to hospital, Sylvester took a bunch of Valium and washed it down with a fifth of Creme De Banana, they had to pump his stomach

Now the song stuck in my head is

"Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning
Long time ago"
by Bob Dylan

I don't really see the whole Santa Claus thing as a lie unless he gets old enough and asks if Santa really exists. I say that the spirit of Santa exists though.

"He saw an animal leavin' a muddy trail
Real dirty face and a curly tail
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big
Awwww, think I'll call him a pig

Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning
In the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning
Long time ago"

I never heard that song before but interesting.
