LOL With a name like McQuown you have to ask? I think "Pagan" is the word
you're looking for.

I decorate for Samhain. I'll be going to the farmers market for gourds,
squashes and cornstalks later today. My decorations are often mistaken for
Halloween; the dates coincide. All Hallow's Eve/All Saints Day. It's a
late harvest celebration.

I also celebrate and decorate for the Winter Solstice which sort of
coincides with Christmas. Those decorations include grapevine wreaths,
holly and winter berries (the birds love it!)

The Vernal Equinox coincides with Spring (Easter). Ever wonder where the
Christians got all these holidays? They merely incorporated existing Pagan
holidays into their own dogma.

There is the Summer Solstice which takes place in late June. There are
berries to be had then... blueberries, blackberries, raspberries,
ligonberries. Think pancakes and jam or syrup!

The Autumnal Equinox just passed (9/21). It is almost (but not quite) at
Canadian Thanksgiving. Still, it's a fall celebration. Turkey not
required. LOL

Oh dear. YouTube has cleverly hidden the actual 1982 video but if
you look hard you can find it

This is the same video we all discussed back a few months ago,
right? I'm looking
to see if it's a different one? (thought maybe they'd made a sequel)

Sorry if I posted it before. Every once in a while I go looking for
old music videos. Probably already posted this. Samhain is coming
up and I was
looking for spooky stuff
