Tears. I had actual tears streaming down my face as I read this.
Moving to North Carolina was a bit of a culture shock. One of my first tasks was helping BrightSide coordinate a business function so I planned for a midweek dinner, a date that I found out quickly wouldn’t work here. What do you mean, there’s church on Wednesday night? You mean, like, Wednesday? Ummm, okay…
Halloween was the first major holiday I experienced in this southern (for me, anyway) state, and I have to admit I had no idea what I’d stumbled into. What the hell’s a Trunk or Treat? Or a Fall Festival? Why are people going to the churches for candy in the first place? I grew up Catholic – all Halloween got us was a holy day of obligation on November 1st when we’d have to drag our sugar crashing butts into church for mass. You mean there are churches that give out candy?!
What, WHAT?!
Click on over and enjoy.
I grew up Catholic, and moved to NC not too long ago after growing up in NY. I remember thinking the SAME things as you, lol. It sure is different down here!

Too funny! And yeah, different is the only word for it…there are still some things that take me by surprise. 🙂
