Halloween for me was bonfires on cold, dark wet nights and less about ' Trick or treat '. It seemed more scary and ethnic and it felt always like the end of the year. Autumn is always a beautiful time and still some sunny days and transparent leaves displaying the colours of the FALL. On  OidhcheShamhna \ the day before November\ you burn the things you don't  wish to carry through to  the next year and after that night begins November which always for me was the darkest and hardest month.
