I was downtown this morning and it struck me how few people were dressed up. Actually, in my drive this morning, I saw a grand total of 2 people dressed - and I was looking for them too.  It seems kind of sad to me, but something that I have noticed over the last 10 years is the decline of holiday participation.

It isn’t just Halloween costumes, but home decorations are lacking too.  Same goes for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The stores are eager to start advertising for Christmas, but so much of the spirit is lost.  For a while I thought it was just because I have grown up and am not seeing it from a child’s perspective.  Nope! There is a definite decline…and I think it is sad.

I wonder if people in other countries that celebrate their own holidays have seen this decline too?

Off of the new album ‘Seventh Tree’ from Goldfrapp……..I present A&E.

So does anybody know where the title for this song came from?  A&E - could that be Alison and some guy whose name starts with E?  Let me know if you know - or if you want to just make something up

So if you are lighting a candle for that jack-o-lantern, you can think about what you just learned.  Happy Halloween!
