To all my American readers and possibly some outside America. Halloween never was a German holiday and now we have Halloween parties all over the place. Cultural pollution we call it. Well, Thanksgiving would be much nicer. It is a good time of the year for holidays anyway - nothing else to do. Trees are all in winter storage, the days are short and it is too cold to work outside. So one screws up the blog and other destructive things. To eat huge turkeys might be better. For the turkey industry for sure.
