Funny bone - do you have one?

Mine doesn't always work.  Do you have a sense of humour.? Not everyone does. One of my three kids does not I discover, somehow I am not surprised, sad but it's not his fault. It's something one develops (or not) as a consequence of life, at the right point in life. I only hope one can develop it and it 's never too late. I think if you are happy enough and secure enough in your own shoes you probably would have one already. Nothing is more curious than the almost savage hostility that humor excites in those who lack it. ~George Saintsbury So can you laugh at yourself ? If you can then you are well- adjusted.

The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place. ~Mark Twain Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. ~Francis Bacon

We're not big on natural expressions,  Asians are still relatively conservative you could say!  But perhaps behind a horror mask it might be enjoyable and easier to be forward! We're growing a larger international community and the practice of halloween here is becoming more visible among that crowd and the local younger educated ones are catching on to this in small ways through the pubs and clubs but other than that it's still a foreign festivity. But it looks like a lot of fun for the kids. For the Catholics, it's All Souls Day - a time to pray for the dead.. a solemn occasion. Let's not forget All Saints on the 1st - the good souls, not the scary ones... :)... Strangely though, why does Halloween happen just before Christmas? Another foreign celebration, I'm glad Valentine's caught on a while back,  I like that concept of a special day for special people (FRIENDS not just of the opposite gender kid) and that's taken on it's own local...
