Awesome post. I haven't seen so much pumpkin varieties. The warty ones look scary to me. And the ghost pumpkins are anything but scary. As to us over here in the Philippines, Halloween is not celebrated that much. You see it falls on the eve of another day which is observed nationwide here. It is all Saints Day and the following day the All Souls Day. On these three days, from Oct. 31st to November 2nd, most Pilipinos honor the souls of their departed loved ones. This is the time to visit cemeteries and memorial parks, lay wreaths of flowers on graves of departed family members, and have reunions with other family members in the cemeteries. This is a Catholic tradition which has been observed since as far back as I can remember.

Thank you very much @gems.and.cookies!! I was raised Catholic and am familiar with All Saint's Day but I always thought it was the same as All Soul's Day or possibly I forgot. Thanks for letting me know that it is two separate days. I think the way of celebrating those days in the Philippines sounds better. 💖
It's more of a solemn celebration here compared to the festive one of that of Halloween. But I think the same way as you as to what is a better way to celebrate. 😊
I saw this poster in my FB page earlier today and I thought of you and your reply to me. I would like to share this with you in the spirit of our Catholic faith. God bless you always @deerjay.
Awesome! Thank you @gems.and.cookies!! I very much appreciate that! God bless you and your family also!💕
