The Force Awakens Cosplay

A new Star Wars movie with new characters means new cosplay! Redditor samartypants got ahead of this year’s cons by dressing as Rey for her family’s Boxing Day party. Now, Boxing Day isn’t normally a costume event, but her family began the tradition 13 years ago for themselves. Cool idea. She also showed us a closeup of the stick she made. The entire costume was created from things she found around the house the night before the party.

Being Halloween as much fun as you want, thank goodness it is still not imported in Spain and the Hispanic countries. Media and commercial sectors are pushing in as much as they try. I'm affraid to say that in some years we will be overruled by this anglosaxon holiday but nowadays, we can proudly say that we resist!! This is an american holiday and I think should not kill local celebrations. I feel sorry for all those non saxon countries that are loosing their identities...

I have to say that the Spain picture displayed is totaly unaccurate as the celebration in Gran Canaria is the Carnival, an the end of February, nothing to do with pumpkins.

Nothing to do with Anglo-Saxons. (I hate that term for English speaking countries!) This tradition is mainly Celtic / Pagan & Christian, brought to the US by Irish and Scottish immigration. In recent years the American traditions have spread to other English speaking countries. Also, BTW I'm English and I've never heard of a souling play. We all know 'trick or treating' and 'apple bobbing' though!

This is not well known. I've asked around, no one has heard of it! I live 50 miles from Cheshire. And yes, I can use google.

Americans themselves have absolutely no idea what they're celebrating on Halloween. Spreading? My money's on it dying off.
