Hordak points to the wool witches, ghosts, and other figurines I made for Halloween.
"By the Horde woman, what is that?"
He points again: "That." I look in the direction of his finger:"Oh...that,
well it's Halloween decorations I made last year." He saw some flasks and cans painted as Zombies, Jack-O-lanterns, vampires, black cats, a big skull, and a big Jack o' lantern pumpkin.
"What's the meaning of those...figurines? I demand an answer!"
I crossed my arms over my chest.
"First, you don't demand anything! Respect for this celebration!" He sighs, "It's an empty celebration." I stomp my foot.
"Respect for this celebration, I said! Halloween is not an empty celebration, ok?" He sighs again, " Tell me why you give so much importance to it." My look softens.
"It's related to our folklore; we honor the dead since ancient times.
We have so many stories related to certain supernatural events." Hordak was fascinated but kept listening.
" People of several Countries celebrate this in different ways, some disguise themselves to repeal the spirits, others set a table to give food to the errant souls, others carve pumpkins or other Fall fruits to scare off the bad spirits, among other things.
But the most important part is to have fun, to get together and talk, and to strengthen the ties between people."
Hordak was taken by surprise, then looked at the handmaid figurines:
"By your way of talking, you must like this celebration.
You put dedication into making these figurines." I nodded.
Then he poses in the middle of my handmaid figurines: "How about picking up your mobile device, and take me a photo?" Another nod.
And I took a photo, and boy...he looks so cute in the middle of my decorations.
Well, I decorated my entrance with all this last Sunday, okay, folks?
