I couldn't agree more if I'm honest, it's never been part of our culture and frankly if I didn't get free candy as a kid I'll be damned if I'm handing it out to today's lot.

To be fair I am a miserable bastard though.

I'm lucky they don't do it really in Spain either.

Easter is his vacation day. He and JC have, like, an understanding. Don't spoil my big night and I won't spoil your big day.

I quoted the Spanish Inquisition's position on witches.

"There are NO Witches.

If anyone says they are a witch, they are deluded.

If anyone says someone else is a witch, they are a liar and shall be punished by the law.

There are NO witches, and we'll burn anybody at the stake who says there is."

They ran away.

I quoted an ancestor. "The superstitions of country people are no threat to the church."
