What even are the origins of the next holiday?

	Samhain or Calan Gaeaf, the first day of winter in the Celtic calendar. The boundaries between worlds are thin and tylwyth teg (fairies, sidhe, little people, whatever you want to call them) are able to cross between. People would leave candy and food for them so they wouldn't cause harm and dress up as them so they wouldn't know who was human. Or possibly for the candy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you. It's interesting to see how far holidays have strayed from their origins. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In this case, not actually very far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just lacking all the magical parts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, we left the Celtic territories behind a little. Maybe the boundaries aren't as thin here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If they are thin, I'm sure it will only lead to trouble here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alternately they are as thin here and that's exactly why we've had trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fairies being behind everything seems to make about as much sense as anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Powerful, mischievious, fundamentally incomprehensible, warped sense of morality... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would be reassuring to finally have an explanation. (Reply to this) (Parent)
