Harvest Partying

Junior’s daycare is having a “harvest party” on Oct 30. Not the 31st, because that might be perceived as a Halloween party. I’m confused – Halloween isn’t really associated with any specific religion, so what’s the deal with celebrating it? What if there are anti-farming families out there who are offended by the thought of a harvest party? His kindergarten, which is accredited by NYAAC or something like that, can’t do anything for Halloween either, as part of that accreditation. So when they go pumpkin picking on Wednesday, it’s not in any way related to Halloween, let’s just get that straight.

Silliness. I can see not celebrating Christmas or Easter or Passover or what-have-you…but Halloween? The official holiday of the National Candy Association? Why is Valentine’s day okay…it’s actually SAINT Valentine’s day, right? Or SAINT Patrick’s day. But actually, maybe they aren’t allowed to celebrate those either. I guess I’ll find out next February and March.
