Revati stormed out into the hot, heavy darkness. Everything was quiet and still, the dead hair dryer was smoking. In the distance, someone was singing. Revati walked towards it, her feet stumbling over tree roots. Bridgadeiro Bun was sitting next to a tree.

"I told you to wait at camp," Revati gently scolded him.

"I got bored! Are you ready to go? Mama hates it when I'm late for Apple day Dinner," Bridgadeiro taking her hand.

It was a new vibrant gesture.

One that for a long time Revati never dared wished for.

A gesture that began a few short months ago with a dance.

Bridgadeiro's eyes suddenly widened with surprise and he gasped. A thick plastic cord had sprung from the feel, wrapping itself around his neck.

Three hair dryers remained, and Revati had one more to confront.

"Will you please just let him go? I have a weapon," Revati addressed the darkness.

An older hair dryer appeared, its black cord attached to its base.

"You humans killed my husband, the least I can do is kill yours," the hair dryer said in a lady's voice. Strictly speaking, the appliances didn't actually need electric cords or genders, or spouses for that matter. For a species that despises humans, they did seem to copy them quite a bit.

"He's not my husband!" Revati pointed out. In truth, she wasn't sure what Bridgadeiro was. When she said goodbye to him four years ago at the end of an empty train ride, she was sure she'd never see him again. But then a week or so later, he appeared "just to check up on his tent." This happened quite often, no matter where Revati went. When he wasn't visiting, he sent messages to Revati's bangle, photos of random things he had spotted, such as a butterfly on a garbage bin, sincere questions about what she was up to. Every year, Revati put her foot down and insisted on traveling back to Olde Landon for Diwali, and every year for three years running, Bridgadeiro Bun was waiting at the gates.

One year he had actually, much to everyone's horror, brought the infamous ex-girlfriend, Margarine. She was a short and extraordinarily pretty girl with freckles and Snow White hair. Whenever she stood next to Bridgadeiro, she clung to his arm in a way that showed off her cleavage. They stayed for the entire two-week festival. Margarine kept exclaiming over how "adorable" everything was while also bragging about her family's "modern living orb." She insisted on sleeping with Bridgadeiro in the greenhouse but complained the next morning about how the soil bags hurt her back. It seemed like she was obsessed with getting every single resident's name wrong. Needless to say, everyone was happy when Bridgadeiro arrived alone the next year.

"Then you don't care if I kill him?" the hair dryer asked.

"Of course I care!" Revati protested. Last Diwali, during Lakshmi Pujan, Bridgadeiro had helped her walk up and down Baker Street, handing out firecrackers to all the residents.

"I can't believe you brought these all the way from your space station!" Revati remarked.

"Well, your Nanni said last year she missed being able to say goodbye to your ancestors properly," he said with a small shrug.

"You're far too helpful! Look at everything you've done," Revati remarked, gesturing about. The plants Bridgadeiro had grown on Baker Street were still thriving. Several of Dusk's students were picking winter berries.

"It's not that much, and it's the least I can do," he replied.

"You repaid me for saving your life a long time ago," Revati said, glancing toward him. They were standing so close together their hands were almost touching. When Revati turned her head toward him, she briefly felt one of his cotton candy curls brush against her cheek.

"Oh no, I do all these things because I like you," he replied. The space between them was very close. In the distance, Revati could hear the whoosh and bang of firecrackers.

Revati swung the mace with a practiced, perfect motion, slamming it into the hair dryer. The air filled with beautiful bright sunlight, and the hair dryer collapsed. Bridgadeiro fell to the ground, still gasping desperately.

"Did you... have to kill her?" Bridgadeiro gasped.

"She's an AI machine; they're probably uploading her brain into a new dishwasher as we speak," Revati reassured him.

There was a clanking sound, and the android appeared.

"Good evening, your majesty," Bridgadeiro wheezed.

"I thought you told your pet clown to wait at the tent," the android remarked coldly as Revati helped Bridgadeiro up.

"He got bored," Revati said as Bridgadeiro brushed down the front of his blue-checked shirt.

"No real harm done! Do you want to head back to the tent to get your luggage?" Bridgadeiro asked Revati, who nodded as something twisted in her stomach. Nerves.

In the year 3556, there were exactly four hundred and eighty-seven major religions across the solar system. There were the old classics such as Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. There were the meta religions such as the Lovecraftians who worshiped fictional kings in yellow. There were the cults that worshiped objects such as carrots and shoes. Then there were the historical figure faiths. The Church of Dollyhart. The Temple of Sweet Baby Elvis. One of the largest historical religions was, of course, "Goupism," or as Nanni called it, "That parasite cult."

As far as Revati could tell, Goupism centered around a beautiful lady who long ago stole hundreds of ideologies. Of course, "Goupers" didn't call it that. They called it "mindful integration."

Bridgadeiro wasn't a religious nut. He didn't force people to wear nothing but an assigned color. He also didn't spray people with "psychic vampire" spray. He did, however, have faith. Faith wasn't something Revati really encountered.

"So, this holiday you're taking me to is to celebrate the existence of apples?" Revati confirmed as they stumbled upwards in the dark.

"Apples, ridiculous! In my court, we only attend festivals that are at least a thousand years old," the android remarked, its eyes lighting the way.

"It's to celebrate both apples and the goddess's daughter. It's about how such a simple universal fruit can be used to fulfill so many needs," Bridgadeiro explained to the android.

"I do like apple juice and apple pie," Revati conceded.

"Not to mention apple cider," Bridgadeiro added.

Up ahead, Bridgadeiro's tent shimmered in the dark. When Revati first heard about Bridgadeiro's tent, she was expecting an all-terrain raincoat propped up on a stick. Instead, the tent was a massive blood-red bioluminescent mushroom. As they approached the tent, Bridgadeiro gently pushed aside some of the fungus, creating a small opening. Once they were inside, the fungus sealed behind them. The inside of the tent was filled with sinister red light. A light Revati had long ago gotten used to.

"You know in my court, we have a massive Chocovale festival! We create an entire palace using only the finest Neptunian cocoa," the android declared as Revati grabbed her luggage. Her luggage consisted of a battered backpack stuffed to the top.

"That's nice," Revati replied. It was best to act as polite and dull as possible whenever the android went on one of her "court" rants.

"Never settle for apples when you can have chocolate, my dear," the android replied, and Revati smacked the android with the side of her bag.

"I thought we agreed when I signed my working contract that you would stay out of my personal life!" Revati snapped back.

Four years ago, Revati had been nothing more than an unpaid sidekick. Three years ago, however, when it became obvious that Dityaa did not want to be found, Revati almost went home. Then the android started doing something extraordinary. The android started paying her. Paying her to follow along, changing parts, and polishing metal as they traveled from city to city. Paying her to fight off bandits who were trying to steal the android's eyes. Sometimes it seemed like she paid Revati just to listen. Revati didn't want to think about being a ghost haunting an android for money.

"We did, but your personal life is interfering with your work! We are so close to finding Perdita! Closer than we've ever been! And you're running off to pick apples with your beau," the android snapped.

Revati glared at the android before grabbing Bridagdeiro by shirt and defiantly kissing him.

"My holiday break started twenty minutes ago! If I want to pick apples, I will pick apples," Revati spat back after letting a shocked Bridgadeiro go.

"We don't actually pick the apples on apple day; we did that two weeks ago," Bridgadeiro remarked, touching his lips and looking stunned.

"Really, Revati? You can do so much better than this! Once I find Perdita, I can find you a spouse that rules an entire moon," the android sighed, and Revati folded her arms.

"Maternity droid, open up battery-saving mode," Revati said.

"Don't you dare!" The android shrieked.

"Enter sleep mode until the battery is fully charged," Revati said, and the android slowly made a clicking sound as it powered down.

"Her battery won't start charging until the sun rises, and then we'll have ten hours," Revati said, pulling a small eye dropper out of her pants pocket. Carefully, she squeezed a drop of liquid onto the tent's walls, and they exploded in a cloud of glittery spores. Revati put the eye dropper away and pulled out a small plastic box, using it to scoop up some of the spores.

Revati was going to reluctantly miss the rainforest; it was nice being able to go out at night without freezing to death.

"You kissed me," Bridgadeiro stammered as Revati put the box away.

"I kissed you to prove a point," Revati replied, holding up a hand.

"The last time you did that, you said it was never going to happen again," Bridgadeiro replied, gently grabbing her hand.

Revati stared at it briefly, remembering last Diwali, the fireworks crackling in the sky, Bridgadeiro's hair smelling like lemon and spices.

"Because of Margarine! You kept breaking up and getting back together with her so many times it gave me psychic whiplash," Revati said, snatching her hand away.

"And I told you that night it was done," Bridgadeiro said gently. It was that same gentle voice that so many fell in love with. Everyone adored Bridgadeiro, the way people loved marshmallows and pillows.

"And I told you I'm nobody's second choice," Revati said firmly before scanning the dark, trying to find the track that eventually led to the forest's main town.

The sort of people who loved Revati were the crazy ones who loved ghost peppers and hardback chairs.

"You're not second! I invited you to Apple day," Bridgadeiro said as Revati began to walk down the path, leaving the sleeping android behind.

"Let's just keep going! The town is an hour's walk away," Revati replied.

"Can I hold your hand? You might slip in the dark," Bridgadeiro replied.

"Fine," Revati conceded. In the buzzing insect darkness, someone watched them go.

DAILY ANGEL MESSAGE!

Take a deep breath, let it out slowly, say this prayer and then keep reading: “Thank you angels for revealing to me what I need to know!”

MESSAGE

You have a great opportunity to experience heart healing at this time. In the past, you may have found it difficult to trust and let yourself be loved, and therefore had many barriers up that stopped others from seeing your true worth. Now you find yourself in an empowered position where you are open to the possibility of partnership. This is very exciting! You know for a fact that you don’t need anyone else to validate you or complete you, but this doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be nice to be cherished and supported.

If you aren’t in a relationship, the Universe is presenting opportunities for you to experience a real soul‑to‑soul connection. This can only happen, though, if you stop letting past experiences cloud your judgment in the present. If you are already in a relationship, know that there is an opportunity to take it further at this time. Either way, enjoy the experience.

ABOUT

Rama and Sita are Hindu personifications of the divine masculine and feminine and are associated with the festival of light, Diwali. Embodiments of divine love and holy union, this magical couple can be invoked for help with overcoming challenges in relationships and can help those who are ready to open their heart to love. Rama and Sita are the central figures in the Indian epic the Ramayana. In short, the story is that Rama and Sita were royal rulers and a great demon lured Sita away by impersonating a wounded animal and an injured beggar in the forest. As Sita had great compassion, she fell into the trap and was stolen away from her one true love. On his quest to find her, Rama led an army of monkey warriors, including its leader, Hanuman, into a battle between good and evil. They prevailed and the royal couple were united once more. Their coming together is still celebrated today.

DECK: Divine Masters Oracle

Thank you for sharing this card if it relates to you!

Send Cake Online: A Convenient Way to Spread Sweet Joy

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is key. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or just because, one of the sweetest ways to brighten someone’s day is by sending them a cake. Thanks to the growing trend of e-commerce, you can now send cake online from anywhere at any time, making it easier than ever to celebrate life's special moments, no matter the distance.

Why Send Cake Online?

Imagine you forgot your best friend’s birthday, and they live miles away. Buying a cake and delivering it yourself may be impossible, but you can easily hop online and arrange for a delicious cake to be delivered right to their doorstep. Sending a cake online offers the perfect solution for busy people who want to celebrate with loved ones despite the physical distance.

The process is incredibly simple. In just a few clicks, you can choose from a wide variety of cakes—whether it’s a classic chocolate cake, a personalized photo cake, or even a trendy vegan cake. Online platforms also offer various customization options, like choosing the flavor, size, design, and even adding a personal message. This means you can truly make the cake your own and add a personal touch, ensuring that the recipient feels extra special.

Advantages of Sending Cake Online

Variety of Options: When you send cake online, you aren’t limited to the selection at a local bakery. You can browse through a vast range of cakes that cater to different tastes and dietary preferences, including sugar-free, gluten-free, and eggless options. Whether it’s an elegant fondant cake for a wedding or a fun, themed cake for a child’s birthday, you’re sure to find the perfect option.

Time-Saving: One of the most significant advantages of ordering cakes online is the time it saves. Instead of driving to multiple bakeries, browsing in-store, and arranging for delivery, you can complete the entire process from the comfort of your home or office. The convenience of sending cake online can be a lifesaver, especially if you're short on time.

Easy Delivery: Online cake delivery services typically offer same-day or next-day delivery, making it perfect for last-minute celebrations or surprises. Some even allow you to schedule deliveries weeks or months in advance, ensuring you never forget an important occasion.

Safe and Secure Payment: Online platforms offer multiple payment options, including credit cards, debit cards, and even digital wallets. This ensures that your transaction is safe, secure, and hassle-free. Additionally, many websites provide order tracking, so you can follow your cake’s journey from the bakery to the recipient’s door.

When to Send Cake Online?

Birthdays: Birthdays are the perfect occasion to send cake online. Whether it’s a close friend, family member, or colleague, receiving a cake can instantly uplift their mood and make their day extra special.

Anniversaries: Sending a cake online to a couple celebrating their anniversary is a thoughtful way to express your best wishes, especially if you can't be there in person. It’s a simple but heartfelt gesture that adds sweetness to their special day.

Festivals and Holidays: Festivals like Christmas, Diwali, or New Year are all about sharing happiness with loved ones. What better way to spread joy than by sending a delicious cake online, even if you're far away?

Surprise Treats: You don’t always need a reason to send cake online! Surprising someone with a cake "just because" is a lovely way to show them you’re thinking of them, whether they’re celebrating a personal achievement or simply having a tough day.

Tips for Sending Cake Online

Plan Ahead: While many platforms offer same-day delivery, it’s always a good idea to place your order a few days in advance if possible, especially during busy periods like holidays.

Check Delivery Areas: Before placing an order, ensure the online service delivers to your recipient’s location. Some platforms may have limited delivery zones.

Consider Preferences: Take into account the recipient’s dietary preferences. Opt for eggless, vegan, or gluten-free cakes if they have specific dietary needs.

Conclusion In a world where time and distance can sometimes get in the way of celebrating with loved ones, the ability to send cake online offers a convenient and thoughtful solution. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just a sweet surprise, sending a cake is an easy way to share joy, love, and sweetness, no matter the occasion. With the variety of options available, sending cake online is a simple yet meaningful gesture that’s sure to make someone's day.

Designing Effective WhatsApp Promotions for Tamil Nadu Festivals and Events

In Tamil Nadu, festivals and events are not just occasions for celebration; they represent a vital opportunity for businesses to connect with their audience in a culturally relevant and engaging manner. Leveraging WhatsApp for promotions during these festive times can significantly enhance your outreach and customer engagement. Here’s a guide to designing effective WhatsApp promotions for Tamil Nadu festivals and events with a whatsapp marketing service provider in Tamil.

1. Understand the Local Culture and Festivals

Tamil Nadu is home to a rich tapestry of festivals like Pongal, Diwali, and Navratri, each with its own cultural significance and traditions. To design effective WhatsApp promotions, it's crucial to understand the essence of these festivals and align your messages accordingly. Celebrate the spirit of the festival by incorporating local customs, traditions, and languages into your promotions.

2. Craft Festive-Themed Content

Your WhatsApp promotions should reflect the festive mood. Use vibrant and culturally resonant visuals, such as traditional motifs, festival-specific symbols, and regional color schemes. For instance, during Pongal, you might use imagery of sugarcane and pongal pots. Additionally, tailor your messages to include festive greetings, discounts, or special offers that are relevant to the occasion.

3. Segment Your Audience

Different festivals might appeal to different segments of your audience. Segment your WhatsApp contact list based on factors such as location, previous purchase behavior, and interests. This allows you to send targeted promotions that are more likely to resonate with each group. For example, you might offer specific discounts on traditional clothing for a Tamil New Year promotion.

4. Leverage WhatsApp’s Multimedia Features

WhatsApp’s multimedia features allow you to create rich, engaging content. Use high-quality images, videos, and voice notes to make your promotions stand out. You could create a short video showcasing your festival-themed products or services, or send a personalized voice message with a special offer. Interactive content, like polls or quizzes related to the festival, can also boost engagement.

5. Incorporate Call-to-Action (CTA) Buttons

Ensure that your promotions include clear and compelling CTAs. Whether it's directing customers to your website, encouraging them to visit your store, or prompting them to redeem a special offer, your CTA should be easy to understand and follow. For example, a message could end with "Tap here to claim your 20% discount on Diwali specials!"

6. Utilize WhatsApp Business Features

WhatsApp Business accounts come with features like automated replies, quick replies, and catalog displays. Use these features to streamline customer interactions and provide timely responses. Set up automated replies for common queries related to your festive promotions and create a catalog showcasing your festival-related products or services.

7. Monitor and Analyze Performance

Track the performance of your WhatsApp promotions using analytics tools. Monitor metrics such as message open rates, click-through rates, and customer responses. Analyzing this data will help you understand what works and what doesn’t, allowing you to refine your strategies for future campaigns.

8. Engage with Personalization

Personalize your WhatsApp messages to make your customers feel valued. Use their names and tailor the content based on their previous interactions with your brand. A personalized message, such as a special offer for a loyal customer during a festival, can enhance customer loyalty and drive conversions.

9. Offer Exclusive Festival Deals

Make your WhatsApp promotions even more attractive by offering exclusive deals available only through this platform. This could include limited-time discounts, bundle offers, or special gifts with purchases. Exclusive deals create a sense of urgency and encourage immediate action from your customers.

10. Maintain Compliance and Respect Privacy

Ensure that your promotions comply with WhatsApp’s policies and local regulations. Respect customer privacy by not spamming and only sending messages to those who have opted in. Always provide an option for customers to opt out of receiving further messages if they choose to.

Conclusion

WhatsApp promotions can be a powerful tool to enhance your festival marketing efforts in Tamil Nadu. By understanding the local culture, crafting festive-themed content, and utilizing WhatsApp’s features effectively, you can create engaging and successful promotional campaigns. Embrace the spirit of Tamil Nadu’s festivals and connect with your audience in a meaningful way through well-designed WhatsApp promotions.

Micro-Influencers: Collaborate with influencers who have 10,000 to 50,000 followers. They often have higher engagement rates and a more loyal following.

Regional Influencers: Target influencers who are popular in specific regions of India to cater to localized audiences.

2. Utilize WhatsApp for Business

How to learn Hindi:

From Namaste to Nibbling Samosas

Have you ever dreamt of getting lost in the vibrant culture of India, where the air hums with Bollywood tunes and the aroma of spices fills your senses? Well, the key to unlocking this incredible world is through the magic of Hindi, the language that binds its people together. But fear not, language learning doesn't have to be a bland textbook slog. Get ready for a delightful adventure as we explore fun and flavorful ways to master Hindi!

First Course: The Alphabet Appetizer

Hindi uses a beautiful script called Devanagari. Don't be intimidated by the unfamiliar curves! Think of it as learning a new artistic style. There are plenty of apps and websites that gamify the process, transforming Devanagari characters into enchanting puzzles. Imagine yourself deciphering ancient scrolls and unlocking secret messages – Devanagari suddenly becomes an exciting quest!

Second Course: Conversational Samosas

Who says grammar has to be dry? Let's ditch the stuffy textbooks and head straight to the streets! Find online conversation groups or language exchange partners. Imagine yourself grabbing virtual samosas with a friendly native speaker, peppering them with questions and learning everyday phrases in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

Third Course: Bollywood Binge-Learning

Bollywood isn't just about catchy tunes and dazzling dance sequences. Those movies are treasure troves of spoken Hindi! Watch them with subtitles, mimicking pronunciations and absorbing common phrases. You'll be surprised at how quickly you start picking things up. Imagine yourself understanding those hilarious movie dialogues and feeling a part of the on-screen action!

Fourth Course: Musical Masala

Music is a universal language, and Hindi music is no exception. Turn up the volume on those Bollywood playlists or discover the soulful melodies of Indian classical music. Pay attention to the lyrics – many popular songs use simple, everyday language. Sing along (even if it's a bit off-key!), and those catchy tunes will have you memorizing vocabulary effortlessly.

Spice Up Your Studies

Here are some additional tidbits to add some extra flavor to your Hindi learning journey:

Flashcard Feasts: Ditch the boring flashcards and create your own visually appealing ones. Use pictures, funny doodles, or even incorporate those delicious Indian spices to represent different vocabulary words.

Label Your World: Turn your surroundings into a Hindi classroom! Stick labels on everyday objects in your house with their Hindi names. It'll be a constant reminder and a fun way to practice.

Think in Hindi: Challenge yourself to think in short Hindi phrases throughout the day. Start with simple things like "I am going to..." or "I like...". This will prime your brain for Hindi and make speaking it more natural.

Hindi Holidays: Celebrate Indian festivals like Diwali or Holi and learn the associated vocabulary and traditions. It's a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the culture and make your learning more meaningful.

Dessert: A Celebration of Flavors

Food is the heart and soul of Indian culture, and learning Hindi goes hand-in-hand with appreciating its delicious cuisine. As you explore recipes for curries, biryanis, and sweets, learn the names of the ingredients and dishes in Hindi. Imagine yourself ordering food with confidence at an Indian restaurant, impressing your friends with your newfound knowledge (and maybe getting a few pronunciation laughs along the way).

Remember, the key to language learning is to make it fun and engaging. So, ditch the rote memorization and embrace the delicious world of Hindi. With a little creativity and a dash of spice, you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll be saying "Namaste" to fluency!

Keeper of the Flame

Today you all get to meet a future member of Sierra's strike team, Saanvi Desai!

Saanvi gasps, short and sharp and cut off mid-breath as her back is slammed into the rough brick wall.

She probably shouldn’t have been walking home, but the bus got trapped by an accident, and she wasn’t willing to risk the lives of everyone on it.

She’d seen him stalking her since two blocks from the agency.

She’d thought she’d been detected, somewhere along the line of the investigation. Maybe via that phone call she placed to his front business, thickening her Indian accent to pose as a call center operator, so a field team could set up a trace on the location.

He had to know it was someone from an agency when the place was raided.

From there, he could have determined he was in Chimera’s operating area, and then staked the place out to find out which hunters and other employees could have been the one who placed that call. Given that currently, she’s the only one who obviously fits the bill, it probably wasn’t hard for him to put the pieces together.

Vampires can be incredibly cunning and still fundamentally idiots. If he wanted her dead, he should have used a gun like a normal human being.

But given what she’s learned about this vamp from studying his operation, he seems to prefer the dramatic. And he thinks he’s untouchable. Her investigation is proving that wrong, which means he not only wants her gone, he wants to send a message with her death. He’s not going to make it quick.

At least she can be reasonably sure he isn’t going to turn her. This one doesn’t mess around with fledglings.

Apparently he does mess around with dramatic villain speeches. She tunes him out, trying to think of what she knows about defending herself in a situation like this.

But her mind is going blank.

The only thing she can think is that when her family hears about this, it will crush them. She’s their only child, the last heir to a hunter legacy that’s been passed down since vampires followed in the wake of the ravages of colonial rule.

When she was born, after hours of labor that nearly killed both her and her mother, on the first day of Diwali, her family had seen it as a sign, that she would be a bringer of light, a lucky child whose life was guarded by the good in the world.

A split second of clarity, a single coherent thought like a match flaring in the darkness. She is a child of the light. And no one gets to take that away from her.

She ignores the claws tearing at the arm protecting her throat as her fingers fumble the katar from its belt sheath.

She has one chance to get it right.

Her hand flies out in a single, stunning blow, a punch that without the blade at her knuckles might still have knocked this creature off her.

With it, she’s got a straight shot to the vampire’s heart.

The old blade still strikes true, driving past bone to sink into the cold, dead heart of the monster trying to snuff out her spark.

A stunned look crosses his face a moment before he crumbles into ashy dust in the alley.

That’s right. I may be office staff, but that doesn’t mean I’m defenseless.

She uses the katar to tear a strip from her blouse, wraps her arm and then dials the agency medical hotline. “This is Hunter Desai, agency ID R-259870. Requesting non-emergency clinic transport.”

Happy Halloween!

By Anders Tornsø Jørgensen

This will be a short and sweet post about my first real celebration of Halloween. Thanks to Kelsey, my fellow intern and roommate, I had a blast!

But first, let’s get some history about this beloved tradition, which 69 percent of the American population is expected to celebrate this year, according to the National Retail Federation.

Halloween is celebrated each year on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Saints’ Day, also known as All Hallows' Day. Most people know Halloween as an American tradition filled with spooky, carved pumpkins and children dressed up going door to door with the message of “trick or treat”. But the tradition traces back to the Celts, who some 2,000 years ago lived in what is today Ireland. On October 31, the Celts celebrated the New Year under the name Samhain. As well as being a day of celebration to say goodbye to the old year and celebrate the new one, it was also believed that on this day the dead rose from the grave to haunt the living and find their way to the underworld. Everything was therefore done to scare away the evil spirits. To keep these spirits at bay, beets were hollowed out, faces were cut into them and then used as lanterns, while masks and other disguises were supposed to trick the spirits into thinking that the Celts had also risen from the dead, and the spirits would therefore leave them in peace. When the Celtic areas were Christianized, the church made the celebration of the dead Christians an essential part of the tradition. This became known as All Saints' Eve, or in Scottish: “All Hallows Eve.” Seems familiar? That’s because this is where the word "Halloween" comes from. It’s actually a contraction of All Hallows' Eve.

Some of the traditions from the original Celtic New Year celebration lived on and moved with Irish and Scottish immigrants to the United States in the 19th century. Here they came up with the idea of making lanterns out of pumpkins instead of beets, as the pumpkins were easier to hollow out and in season precisely around 31 October.

While I have always been an admirer of American culture, I have never really celebrated Halloween back in Denmark. However, since the end of the 1990s, the American Halloween tradition has become increasingly widespread in Denmark, strongly shaped, and strengthened by the power of popular culture. In preparation for my first Halloween celebration, I watched a bunch of films associated with the holiday, including classics ‘Halloween’, ‘Scream’, ‘Hocus Pocus’, and ‘It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’. As you can see, that included horror films, but also comedies, so I tried to ensure a great variety.

My Halloween celebration began Friday after work, when Kelsey and I went to Walmart to shop for candy. Walmart had everything ready, including a brain-shaped cake, which I found quite fascinating. Anyway, we bought a bunch of different chocolate brands – my favorites being Reese's Peanut Butter Cups – two pumpkins, a few decorations, and some flameless candles to place in our two pumpkins. While spooky decor and classic costumes are the usual symbols of Halloween, you can't forget about the iconic jack-o'-lantern, so when we got back, we immediately began the important work on our pumpkins. This was my first time trying this, so I think, without bragging, that the result was pretty great! It was an interesting process all the way from scooping out all the pulp to designing the face. I ended up making a happy and goofy side, and then an angry, scarier, face on the other side. Then we added our lights into our two new friends, and voila! Mission accomplished.

The next day we went to visit Omaha with two of our colleagues with a new mission to find a Halloween costume, but also to celebrate Diwali, India’s most important and biggest holiday of the year. Diwali, also known as Festival of Lights, actually took place last week. But I enjoyed learning about this holiday, and it also turned out to be a perfect chance to try some of Omaha’s finest Indian food, including some pretty spicy, but delicious, stuff. After a great time at Omaha’s Astoria Biryani House, we went shopping in various thrift shops, looking for the perfect Halloween costume. I had originally planned to be a baseball player due to my newfound interest in America’s pastime, but it turned out to be an impossible task. Instead, I ended up finding the right gear to dress up as a truck driver. However, people insist, that I look more like Forrest Gump, so maybe I need to find a box of chocolate.

During Sunday, Kelsey and I went to the cinema in nearby Atlantic, Iowa, to see ‘Halloween Ends’ which is the thirteenth, and latest, installment in the Halloween franchise. This franchise began back in 1978 with John Carpenter’s cult classic simply named ‘Halloween’. Considered one of the greatest and most influential horror films ever made, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" in 2006, which I found pretty groovy.

Anyway, a visit to the cinema meant that I could enjoy a big bag of buttered popcorn, another great American invention, which I think should be introduced in Danish cinemas. It’s worth every calorie, including the greasy fingers.

We arrived home just in time to receive the local kids, who in Elk Horn happens to do trick-or-treating Sunday night. Yesterday, nearby Exira had their trick-or-treating, and on the day of Halloween, nearby Kimballton will have theirs. That sure seems to be a good deal for the kids, who gets a lot of candy due to this arrangement! And this means that I don’t have to rush home to get ready for an army of hungry kids. Halloween is not a federal holiday, which means it’s a workday for most people. So, if you're rushing home to answer your doorbell, you're certainly not the only one.

Anyway, a lot of kids came to knock on our door during Sunday evening. It was lovely to see all the creative costumes, my favorite being a little adorable girl dressed as enormous pumpkin, but also a boy in a giant chicken suit. The Hershey chocolate bars from our candy bowl was the biggest hit of the night, and I totally get that: Hershey is pretty yummy, and my second favorite after Reese’s peanut pieces of decliousness. I truly enjoyed witnessing the energy and good spirits among the kids, including a proud big brother holding his little sister’s hand and taking her from house to house. On films you always see people toilet papering a house, but I didn’t see any of that in Elk Horn, which was quite nice. It must be a sign, that the people of Elk Horn are quite generous with handing out candy. Failure to supply a treat would perhaps have resulted in practical jokes. As a matter of fact, one quarter of all the candy sold annually in the U.S. is purchased for Halloween! I also saw a few dogs dressed in costumes, so here’s another funny statistic: Americans spent nearly $500 million on costumes for their pets in 2021. Lastly, the National Retail Federation’s annual Halloween Consumer survey reveals that total Halloween spending in 2022 is expected to reach a record $10.6 billion, exceeding last year’s record of $10.1 billion.

Celebrating Halloween was really enjoyable, and when I return to Denmark, I sure will do my part to celebrate it. Apparently, it’s getting more and more popular back home, which is top-notch for this Dane, who happens to be quite fascinated by American culture. One of my favorite parts was carving out the pumpkin, because it’s a creative exercise, but it’s also quality time with friends: laughs and great conversations – what’s not to like despite a little pumpkin pulp? And the same goes for the trick-or-treating part: Seeing those kids’ genuinely smile when they receive a candy bar is a great feeling and it made me so happy. Finally, I would like to offer a sincere kudos to that dedication, which I think characterize many Americans: I love to see how innovatively people have decorated their homes, making it look like haunted houses. Americans sure do seem to love Halloween unconditionally.

As of tomorrow, my colleagues and I will meet up in our costumes. And I am very excited to experience this! I’m sure it will be a lot of fun. Also, another benefit of being an intern at the Museum of Danish America is all the sweet treats my generous colleagues bring each week. I have properly never eaten so many treats in my life, and I even worked in a kindergarten once, so I know what I am talking about. I am pretty confident that tomorrow will be a day filled with Halloween-related snacks, treats, and cakes, so I look forward to dive into that and to see what the day brings! On a final note, I’ll end this blog post with a message of two simple words: Happy Halloween!
