Love it, I'll work on my skills and post some too.

OK, hey thats a good idea! I didn't really think of that till you gave me an idea, but lets make this thread a Halloween theme thread, and post your halloween pics and stuff. This could be a real spooky thread! Just keep adding more as you go along, by Halloween it could be a really long thread, maybe several pages worth..lol

Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.
