Halloween Overcommercialized
Draw your own conclusion, but I say yes. I know that my community hasn't ritualistically slaughtered any livestock to appease a demon spirit in years. I say we go back to the old ways.

Cut off from the land that bore us, betrayed by the land we find, where the brightest have gone before us and the dullest remain behind, .......but stand to your glasses, steady,.......tis all we have left to prize, raise a cup to the dead already, hurrah for the next that dies

I understand that Portagee sailors all dress up as prostitutes this one day a year. Is that too commercial?

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
