Around here, most of the village had put out lovingly carved jack'o
lanterns, representing also a new effort towards a spirit of
togetherness in the village. Lovely: until they were all smashed to bits
by some such kids....

Are you sure? Could be some religious fundamentalist who objects to
anyone celebrating Halloween on the grounds it's "pagan witchcraft" :-(

You could be right, at that, Janet - an even more worrying thought
