Loving your cartoons as always. And this one came with a fascinating history lesson. I've never heard of Pust before. But do you get to celebrate Halloween as well?
But why are the donuts cheaper?
I like the idea of scaring away winter. If we get another snowstorm I'm gonna point my hair-drier at it.
...nah we dont have halloween (not in the same sense your do). Some bars organise a party here and stores do sell some stuff...but its not rly rooted. We do have the day of the dead on the 1st of November where the point is more or less decorating the graves.
As for donuts its sort of related with tradition and thinking you, your animals and the spirits have to be very full on Pust or the harvest thaty year will be bad. Food has to be heavy and rich and I guess a donut fits that. :) So stores takes advantage of that...lol
I think I love this tradition! I wonder if we could get it to catch on in the states?
