Other Holidays and what they share in common with Halloween?
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2010 9:05 pm
Kind of an odd thread you might think, but this is a thread about what other holidays may share in common with Halloween, or what Halloween might share in common with other holidays.
Although Halloween is undoubtedly a unique holiday, a holiday that focuses on making fun of death, dressing in costumes, watching horror movies, handing out candy to children etc. But it may share some things in common with other holidays. I can't say it's the only holiday that focuses on death, since Mexico has Dia de Muertos.
I already made a thread about what Halloween has in common with Thanksgiving, namely the pumpkins and harvest decor, this is more of a broad look and comparison made with other holidays.
There's Christmas...well people dress in Santa Costumes...and costumes are part of Halloween. There's also the candy. Then there's Krampus Nacht that's celebrated in Europe.
With New Years...well...some people might like to party on Halloween...and undoubtably they do on New Years.
Valintines...some people like to give black roses on Halloween while they give red ones on Valintine's. Usually candy is involved here as well.
St Patty's....well...not really sure about St Patty's.
Easter....Candy. Possibly some Rabid bunnies.
Anyone else think of how other holidays might have something that relates to Halloween?
