The Great Pie Poll #1

[timepiececlock]

[Poll #171235]

I ask this because I was at fictionalley.org (HP fan forum) and someone said "I still don't understand why the H/Hr ship is called the HMS Pumpkin Pie when Pumpkin Pie doesn't even exist."

TRAVESTY!

Imagine a life without pumpkin pie.

My conclusion: Maybe she's European. Lots of European HP fans.

And so you have the poll. Unfortunately I can't see the results until I vote, so I'm going to pick the last one just for fun.

Actually, we don't really have Santa to bring us presents. Our kind of Santa is Saint Nikolaus, and he comes on the 6th of December to put sweets in your shoes (which you put outside the door the night before) if you were a good kid. If you were a bad kid, his helper, Knecht Ruprecht, beats you up with a bundle of twigs.

I've read about that. I was being kinda sarcastic about the Santa thing-- I know not everyone has the same christmas story. :)

On christmas Eve, the presents are brought by the Christ Child.

Finally got tired of the all insense and decided to pawn it off on others, did he?

What's weird about about Halloween is that it's a pagan holiday, from European history (the roman church also made in into a saint's day in order to convert the locals), and yet American (Canadian?) settlers seemed to have taken it and over time changed it into what it is now. Very strange.

Speaking for myself, I prefer Santa. He seems more fun to have around and he know how to put in an appearance at christmas. Not to forget the christmas songs. I'm one of this weird people who constantly sing Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, Santa Baby and Santa Claus is coming to town during the whole season. :o)

I think the irish still celebrate it as its origin, Samhain. At least the owner of the Irish pub I worked at did.

I'm pretty sure that almost nobody celebrates it as Samhain in America except some very old traditional families, and of course people who practice Wicca.
