For years when mine were little, we studiously avoided Hallowe'en. We went to the Church's Light Party (if fancy dress was in order, it was superheroes, or princesses not witches or skeletons) and made little or no adjustment to the daily order, so no bobbing for apples, peeling skins for divination or any thing that smacked of magicality at all. It worked for us; we didn't go Trick or treating, and those who visited us were politely told, "We don't celebrate Hallowe'en here" The children grew up sensible and well-adjusted, they don't do gross horror films and I'm proud of them. This year they are all old enough to make up their own mind. The lads are easy; if it involves effort, then they're not bothered.

How annoying. I hate being without my computer but at least you can still get online. Hope you get it back soon.
ReplyDeleteBack already! And it doesn't fade every 10 minutes, so that's good.

ReplyDeleteI have a lot of friends with birthdays in December. Does it count if I buy their presents now, lose them, open them, use them and buy a replacement when it's 3 for 2 in Boots? That doesn't count against my spending either, does it?
DeleteSo frustrating to be without one, hope it's back sooner rather than later.
