Some wiser folk celebrate the new year on Halloween, it being the Sam Hain Celtic Harvest festival that was repurposed by the Christian Church as All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day.

Here's what you can do on Sam Hain for your own thanksgiving ritual and also for good fortune for the following year. It really works too!
