SO. I know I haven't posted anything amazing for New to the Tour, but I really can't focus right now. You know why?!

IT'S EFFING HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween is my favorite holiday. No joke. I love just about everything about it. It's creepy, it's scary, it's fun, and for one day out of the entire year, you aren't ridiculed for wearing something funny, and you don't have to be yourself. What's not to love??

Well this year, what's not to love is having to do shit ON Halloween. Call me lazy, but I don't like to do anything on my favorite holidays, except get ready and look creepy.

But no worries. so I thought I'd share some fun facts about Halloween that I've come across:

Do you know why we do the things we do on Halloween? Like, Carving Pumpkins.
I heard one sick theory that it was not pumpkins originally, but babies heads. That's a complete lie and I will one day find that person lol.
The real truth is that we carve pumpkins to light the way for Jack. Hence Jack O' Lantern. The story goes that this guy, Jack, was really just.. bad and sinful. He drank, he had tons of sex, just one not so cool dude. (Editors note: I'm not saying that those things make you a bad person, I swear! But wait till you're older!) So one night, the devil came to him while he was in a drunken stupor and said it was time to go to hell. Jack obviously didn't want to go, so he said, "alright, but you have to help me pay for my drink." the devil said "Well how the hell do I do that?" he said, "Well, turn into a pence and then once I've paid, you can turn back and we'll go." The devil said, "Whatever." and did as was suggested. But instead of spending it, he put the pence into his wallet and drew a cross on it. He walked out of the bar, having tricked the devil. After a while, he took out his wallet, said " I will let you out if you promise to let me live another year. So another year passes, and Jack tries to be a better person, but fails miserably. So the devil comes back and says it's time to go Jack. Well Jack went running this time, into a tree. Before he got up though, he carved a cross on the bark and picked an apple. I don't know why an apple, but he did it.  So when the devil came back he said, "FUCK! Not another cross!" Jack said, "I will get out of this tree with only the promise that you won't kill me for another ten years." So soon after, he freaking dies. God, who's also been watching Jack, rejected him from heaven because he was a douche in life. So when he went to the gates of hell, the devil said "Hell no. You are to stay away from me." Jack said, "Well, where will I go? It's dark!" The devil laughed mockingly and threw him an ember from hell that would never go out. Jack (who somehow remained drunk in death I guess) took the ember and put it in a pumpkin, carving a hole for light to come through. So when you put your Jack O'  Lanterns outside and light them, it's to light his way so he won't come into your house.

Another thing: Bobbing for apples.
We bob for apples because it was said that the first girl to get an apple was the first to marry.

And the rest you probably know.

HAPPY   HALLOWEEN!
