Halloween thread

[dense swallow]

Did i do this right

I've never made a thread bedore

[wraith eagle]

it's working

[solid rune]

i celebrate halloween in my head lol

its really not a thing in hungary to dress up or trick or treat

however halloween comes from pagan roots and im kinda interested in those things so i'll probably read about it and maybe bake something

i'll definitely go out in the nature around halloween and just be happy there and look at the pretty colors and creatures

[tranquil mulch]

I am spooky season I celebrate by existing

[subtle karma]

We celebrate (Idk if that's the right word?) our relatives who are no longer with us by lighting candles and decorating their graves the day after Halloween. 🕯️

[solid rune]

yes hungary has this too!

moosh so true omg..

[frosty swallow]

party! :PU_PeepoCheering:

i

😭

[dense swallow]

We do this as well!

That's why i included the other holiday option because I didn't want to say "i visit the graveyard" or something

[harsh tangle]

I used to dress up and go trick or treating but this year I doubt I'll do anything D:

[tranquil moth]

Corn maze

[rain gull]

I just change my discord pfp every year

[minor shale]

I'm 13 and I'm kinda getting too old to go trick or treating (or so I'm told by my mother)
I just want to do something simple
like walk around the neighborhood with my friends and scare people or some shit like that
I still wanna dress up tho

[tender thistle]

handing out candy is underrated!

[sinful leaf]

parents think im too old to go trick or treating but i have every intention of goin man

and dressing up

[tender thistle]

I always have fun just dressing up and hanging out with my friends and handing out candy

[sinful leaf]

as chucky 😋

[tender thistle]

then like watching a movie or something

[subtle karma]

LOL I love it tho. It's so beautiful and serene with all the candles : )

[warped rose]

i never really went trick or treating, i just made a costume and carved pumpkins

[dense swallow]

Exactly!

[merry knot]

I send creepy texts to random people on the internet/j

[shadow wave]

My family usually trick or treats but I usually stay behind and be the one who hands out candy to the kids

I love messing around with the kids and making them feel all special by complimenting their SPOOKY costumes it’s adorable

[wintry wadi]

i don't celebrate hallowen 😵‍💫

[shadow wave]

And we usually put up a movie on our garage with a projector screen (usually the nightmare before Christmas, although last year it was the corpse bride). The kids think it’s super cool and I felt kinda bad cause one kid wanted to stop trick or treating and like just wanted to watch the movie with us lol

[vivid mantle]

Church party

[hexed stream]

I like the Halloween vibes but I don’t really celebrate it anymore

I used to do an annual Halloween sleepover with my friends, but with covid and, yk, the downfall of the social life I had as a child, I really don’t anymore

[vernal storm]

i wish i still had an excuse to dress up and go trick or treating

nowadays i just hand out candy which is nice too

[vivid mantle]

“It’s Halloween” is your excuse

[vernal storm]

true but i’m 21 so i don’t think it would go over well

[vivid mantle]

But why

[warped rose]

oh i’m sure you still could

[vernal storm]

i mean i don’t see anything wrong w whoever trick or treating but i feel like the current older generation would and it wouldn’t be worth it

[tranquil moth]

I trick or treat still and I’m 19

[warped rose]

oh that’s true. it’s sometimes better not facing judgmental boomers

[charred jasper]

Like Dia de los muertos?

[sonic kayak]

I have a big party with my friends in the yard with a fire and music and we all dress up

[nimble tapir]

Where’s the “I grew up in a heavily Christian household and was never allowed to celebrate Halloween, including Trick or treating, and by the time I was old enough to make my own decisions on what I wanted to do for it, I didn’t really care about it” option

[subtle karma]

Did you celebrate all saints day then Alex?

[nimble tapir]

No

Idek what that is

We were evangelical not catholic

So we don’t really have saints

[vivid mantle]

lol

[subtle karma]

Ah okay. I don't think it's a catholic thing tho, I grew up Lutheran and we celebrate it. But it's more of a tradition these days

Catholic thing only I should say

[hexed stream]

well im catholic and i celebrate all saints, but at least people around here make it more about honoring the dead and less about saints

so yeah i dont think it's catholic-exclusive

[tender thistle]

it is a Catholic thing other denominations don’t have saints

all saints is different than all souls

Which is just dia de los muertos

[solid rune]

oh yeah in hungary we have both all saints and the day of the dead

one on the 1st and other on the 2nd of november

[tender thistle]

yeah Christian’s call it All Souls’ Day but it’s the same thing and same day

[subtle karma]

I just said that I grew up Lutheran and that we celebrated it Idk what to tell you dude. We celebrate alla helgons dag= all saints day

[tender thistle]

Lutherans regard all dead Christian’s as saints I’m pretty sure it was just all souls

or they’d be redundant

[subtle karma]

I am telling you that we celebrate all saints day and not all souls day. The church of Swedens coat is depicted with Saint Eric's crown. There are relics from saints in the church I grew up in.

[tender thistle]

but that’s a Lutheran denomination I ain’t know that

definitely just have different customs

[subtle karma]

? I've stated that I was Lutheran several times. If you don't know what you are talking about why are you trying to lecture me about my own former faith then lol

[nimble tapir]

Idk a ton about other denominations, but I can tell you that we don’t celebrate either of those

Saints or soul’s

In what I grew up in

[warped rose]

this does seem like a polarizing conversation lol

[ornate steppe]

hana typing in pollarize

what will she sayyyy

[wraith eagle]

👀

[vivid mantle]

this is not a common thing lol

usually christians call it harvest festival or something

[ornate steppe]

ive never heard that

ive always heard all souls day

[vivid mantle]

ive never heard of all souls day in my life lol

[dense swallow]

well i accidentally said "h"

[wraith eagle]

h

[ornate steppe]

H

[vivid mantle]

h

[wraith eagle]

[vivid mantle]

H

[tender thistle]

it actually is 👍

your personal experience is not universal

[vivid mantle]

i looked it up, it says it's a catholic thing and it's separate from all saints day and takes place on November 2nd

[tender thistle]

crazy how that is what I said

[vivid mantle]

also it's not just my experience. I know hundreds of christians and non of them celebrate it and I've never heard of it before

[tender thistle]

that means it’s your experience lol

we call that anecdotal evidence

[vivid mantle]

lol I got confused, you were talking about day of the dead and i thought you were talking about all saints day

it is a catholic thing tho

[tender thistle]

Catholics are Christians

[vivid mantle]

I just got confused. I thought you were saying that it's the normal thing for Christians to do instead of All Saints Day.

[vivid mantle]

yeah, but the wording of things made me think you were specifically talking about other denominations than catholicism

it was just a misunderstanding lol

[tender thistle]

oh yeah no idk if denominations that don’t do all saints day do anything

guess it was yeah

[vivid mantle]

sorry about that lol

[tender thistle]

no worries

[robust iron]

I celebrate la castanyada, and dia de todos los santos

[surreal surge]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 10!

[robust iron]

We eat panallets, chestnuts and sweet potatos
