Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the story. It's fun to write as a kid again. I used to keep a journal when younger, now just notebooks full of 'stuff'. Ideas and such.
I can see that this holiday might be 'counter' to many traditions, or wash them out, as we say, if it was to become too large. Like so many traditions that get commercialized. Though this one has always been about being a bit nutty for fun, at least in this country for all of my life. I used to dress up more, maybe I should get back to it again. It IS fun to be silly.

As for reading my works like this, there is a link in the bottom part of the story, to the first story of 'the boys' about a meteor coming to earth. Response to a challenge put out by the great writer @dreemit. It has a little back-story in it, but mostly they are stand alone stories. Well, thanks for stopping in, reading and commenting and voting. I really appreciate it. Have a nice day.
