Beste Ron,

This post (to break the silence) straddles the topics "Traditions",
"Etymology" and "Projects". If there are any responses to it we will see in
which direction they will take us.


Halloween has absolutely no significance whatsoever here in Belgium. It has
no roots at all in traditional culture. Stories of "scary fun" abound, but
they bear no relation with "Halloween". There is no need to mention the word
at all, it just makes me upset.

Kind greetings,

Luc Hellinckx, Halle, Belgium
