  1. Hallow Eve Customs

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people used to get a stick, and and tie a piece of twine round an apple. Then they used to tie a candle so that when the players tried to get a bit of the apple the candle-grease used to fall on them - so that it was very difficult for them to bite the apple.
