I just found out that my Racialist fiance thought Halloween was Mexican.:rolleyes: Good god...I set him straight and said he should be ashamed of himself.  We loooove Halloween. BTW it's Wednesday and that means it's Ghost Hunters night on Sci-fi. Yay! Yes, I agree he should be ashamed of himself, for goodness sake why would anyone think Halloween was Mexican:confused: Maybe he's thinking of the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration.     Here is something about the Celtic pagan origins of Halloween from a History Channel program called the Haunted History of Halloween. Seems accurate to me, except they said the practice of bobbing for apples comes from a Roman tradition but I'm pretty sure they're wrong about that part because the Celts did that too.
