A smart vampire. Blue shirt with skinny tie, then dark blue/navy corduroy trousers and fancy boots and on my face a load of vampire make up. I was going to go as a caveman but that plan fell through.
It's a perfect combination of paganism and Christianity - disguise yourself as an evil spirit one day and follow it up with a bit of an aul pray for the souls of the departed. Different places have different stories, but I like Stingy Jack.Gralian said:Honestly? I didn't know Halloween was a big thing in Ireland, or that the Jack O' Lantern came from an Irish tale. The name probably should've given it away, but i always assumed it came from American settlers who happened to be Irish. (or whatever nationality has cultural history in Halloween)seamusotorain said:Sniparoo!
... That said, i'm actually interested enough to go look up the story of 'Stringy Jack', so i must thank you for that!
Also, about the ring in the cake thing, that's really interesting you should mention that because my family used to do something similar, only at Christmas - you put a 20p in the Christmas pudding and the person who finds it is also supposed to receive good luck and good fortune for the year ahead.
