Me being from motherland don’t believe in it and cant understand why would you like to dress up like a witch or a monster.

You being from the motherland and your name is "Tony"?????????? So you are so cultural but you have a westernized name?????

Most of these festivals I look at like a hindu festival: nobody knows or cares if it is worth celebrating but they do anyway. In mexico on Nov 1st the "celebrate" the dead by leaving food and candy at a persons grave or doorstep next to their picture. I dont know bout you but this reminds me of the Sakhi about Guru Nanak going in the river with the sadhus that were throwing water to their ancestors. Then next there is valentines day another excuse for now culture , where we pretend to love the person you should love anyway more on a certain day????? All these celebrations while only a few GurSikhs celebrate the life given to them from Waheguru Jio on a moment by moment basis instead of some picked calender day.

i dont think there is anything wrong with giving out candys or anything... its just a fun time for the kids...

nothing wrong..

obviously on the basis of sikh principals there is no such thing as bhoot or bhrait but this is just some excuse for the kids to get a few chocolates and have a good time...

smile :D

kaliaa arent really tassels though.

makes me think now :D

cuz like tassels hang..they are composed of quite a number of little threads

and you will NEVER see tassels on a CHOLAA!!

on a Chola, there are separate peieces of cloths assorted right beside each other, and they are sewed together from the middle, and the middle part is whats known as a kali (ku-lee).

but there is nothin hangin from the Chola, like for example a tassel.
