Hallowe’en
Monday, October 30th, 2006Two points.
- When did Hallowe’en lose its apostrophe? It always had one when I was a kid; now it seems to be “halloween” everywhere…
- When did it become such a big deal? It seems every shop is full of cheap plastic pumpkins and witches hats. I’m sure someone could write something erudite about how the secularisation of Britain has combined with the shops’ need to have something to fill the space between “Back To School” and “Christmas”…
