Not much no more except in the church, which is not much more either. But of course for some. Ie many put their heart and free time into social work there. Regarding Halloween -- i live only about a kilometre, but not much more (by air) away from Burg Frankenstein (actually a ruin), and when i was young with all those many, many Americans in the Rhein- Main-Gebiet (south of Frankfurt/Main .. air base, plus Ramstein Airbase, plus Spangdahlem, .. and more, all not far away, plus at least three bases inside Darmstadt where i live itself) they celebrated that. Maybe hundred or more busses parking (at Pfungstadt railway station due to space constraints i'd say). Unfortunately, now that the Americans are mostly gone, they started to "eventize" that. Some money making for "hungry" students and such, i once passed by an "instruction" of paid ones via bike (they were "biting" already). I personally: NO. 'Don't like that, even though it is mayb fun for the kids. But unfortunately we all forget our own history, and that is funny female witches enthusiastically riding their broom in the night to May 1st, which i find a much more sympathic and life fostering event. Of course -- for all you reading this enthusiastic female witches riding brooms is such a thing of the past that it almost is forgotten. [I hope political correctness does not read too much in that "female", i mean something along those many choices all the long way to the "male" counterpart.] But nonetheless, the vision alone i find much more sympathic. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
