It's October 30th. Most people just call it the night before Halloween, but in some regions of the US and in some areas of the world it's known as Mischief Night, Cabbage Night, or
Devil's Night among other names. The festivities get divided into two nights- one for tricks and one for treats.
I've never seen any signs of mischief in the areas I've lived, but the 30th is supposedly the night to cover a tree or house with toilet paper, egging cars, and smashing pumpkins. It's a bit mean-spirited for me, but I like traditions, so I'm offering you the devil. It's kind of interesting, though, if you think about it, that my husband and I got married on Mischief Night.
I can't believe I haven't started an antique collection of devils in honor of our marriage. It makes sense to me that since this is our 14th year of marriage (edit: My husband just reminded me we've only been married 13 years- it seems so much longer than that!) I should have at least 14 13 pieces by now. I'd better get shopping.
