Celtics made their New Years resolutions on Halloween (and they also had free stuff)

Celtics made their New Years resolutions on Halloween (and they also had free stuff). Halloween originated over 2,000 years ago with a Celtic festival called Samhain, which was also their new year. They believed that on the night before the new year, the worlds of the living and dead would combine, and dead people would come back to life. To celebrate, they would make a BIG fire, make plant and animal sacrifices and dance around in costumes of animal skin.

Two thousand years later, this once sacred day has become a day of scandalous costumes and overindulgence in first candy, then as you grow older alcohol and then even older your children's candy.



I love it.

Which is why I have decided to give away... FREE STUFF!

Peanuts are not nuts

Peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes.

How do I know this? A good friend of mine is allergic to nuts. Whenever she was asked about her allergy, she would explain how all nuts would kill her, but not peanuts because they are legumes. She was so allergic to nuts that on Halloween her father followed us trick or treating to make sure she didn't eat anything. We were 12.
