Okay, so maybe me calling Halloween 'International Gorge Yourself on Candy Night' was a stretch since not as many countries take part in Halloween as I thought. I kind of like England's way of doing it...giving the kids money (ka-ching!) Happy Halloween, everybody! You guys rock!!
Today is also one of our family's favorite person's 30th birthday!! Happy birthday, Heather! We love you to the moon and back! Since she's currently globetrotting, more particularly finding adventure deep in the Amazon...(I may be embellishing due to the fact that she's living within civilization and not in the jungle), We are sending a video shout-out.
Button Nose dances 'The Thriller' for you. You may have to tip your head a bit...
We love you.
PS There is one more very special video coming in a couple of hours...
And FINALLY a completely embarrassing howling of Happy Birthday....

Actually you might not like the way that England does it if you heard a little more about why. It's a tradition called Guy Fawkes day. It happens November 4th or 5th (I don't remember). Anyway he was a catholic who didn't like the protestant ways of the English and so tried to blow up parliament. He was caught and I believe burned after being paraded about as an example. To celebrate the people of England burn bonfires (originally bone fires) to remind them of how much they hate the pope and Guy Fawkes by connection. So, here's where the tradition mingles. The children of England go around that day, very near Halloween carrying effigies of Guy on big sticks going door to door saying, "penny for the Guy." To which the people would then donate money. It bleeds over in the closeness of the two holidays and the similarity of the rituals.
Correction the kids go around the few days before The Day, to collect funds for the deed/celebration. So giving money is what the people are used to doing on the 31st of October in England. And after looking it up it appears that it is celebrated on the 5th of Nov.
