| | OCTOBER MID MONTH UPDATE - A Little Late!
October and November are some of my busiest months for selling at off-site events. Besides events in various parts of WV and PA, I have been to New England for both business and pleasure. While it is nice to get away, it throws a wrench into my regular newsletter schedule which is why I am late here with October update. You can always find out what is happening at Journeys through the website calendar as well as on our FaceBook Fan Page. You will be seeing more gift giving ideas in future JourneyNotes as we count down to the holidays and you may see a few extra emails in November and December with special offers and events for the holidays. Can you believe it is almost November? Where did the time go? I hope that as you plan your holiday shopping you will keep Journeys of Life at the top of the list of places to find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. Thanks for helping to keep Journeys alive and well in 2009! I treasure your support. Jean
GOODIES, GHOSTS & GOBLINS
Legend of the Jack-O-Lantern
 |
The legend comes from Ireland from about the 18th century. Here is the fable passed on through the ages.
There was a stingy drunkard of an Irishman named Jack who tricked the Devil into climbing an apple tree. Then Jack quickly cut the sign of a cross into the trunk of the tree, thereby preventing the Devil from climbing down. Jack made the Devil swear that he wouldn't ever come after Jack's soul again or claim it in any way. However, this did not stop Jack from dying and when he did he was not allowed into Heaven, because of his life of drinking, being tightfisted and being deceitful. And because of the oath the Devil had taken Jack was not allowed into Hell either. "But where can I go?" asked Jack. "Back where you came from!" replied the Devil. The way back was windy and dark. The Devil, as a final gesture, threw a live coal at Jack straight from the fire of Hell. To light his way and to keep it from blowing out in the wind Jack put it in a turnip he was eating. Ever since Jack and his "lantern" has been traveling over the face of the earth looking for a place to rest.
It is thought that Halloween was brought to North America by immigrants from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes. |
