31 October...........

Click on the title to play the game of "Hallow'een Hangman" - with a skeleton!

31st October - every year!
I recall we used to have to play games (in Hallow'een parties held in the CHURCH hall- not forgetting that this festivity is strictly a pagan one) like "dunkin' for apples, or trying to eat apples covered in jam or treacle hanging from a strin, with our hands tied behind our backs (images of bondage fetishes come to mind - in the church hall...!)
OK - I took part, because, as the Pastor/Vicar's son, I had to, and anyway, it was the period of rationing, and this was the only time we got to eat things like apples or jam/treacle!
Since then, the Americans have taken it over, and it appears to be very popular over there. In France, it had a relatively short popularity, about 4 years worth, before being thrown out the window!
In Britain, I'm not sure, but I think it is no longer so popular, and certainly not thids year - no money, only BAD credit...!
But YOU - you can play the game thanks to (iwmpop) and the Internet!

Of course - the full term is "Hallowed Evening" - representing a night when all the Spirits and phantoms can jump out of bed and have a party! Join them....!
