Actually, as a pagan, Samhain is the cross quarter between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice. So Samhain, scientifically is around November 7 now. The Christians have tried to tell us that Samhain is Halloween, but they don’t get to make the rules for our religion :-)

As a Pagan myself, I was pleased to see Samhain included in the new year’s celebrations. And fyi, I don’t have a calendar that starts on Samhain because I don’t have anything but a Julian calendar! But I’m sure many Pagans have almanacs or special pagan calendars that still start on Jan 1., mostly because it’s so ingrained into American and modern-day European culture, and this generation of Pagans are mostly being turned to the path from years of Christinaity or another well-known religion.

My father was visiting Thailand during the New Year celebration in 2006. Supersoakers seemed to be the best way to throw water. His pictures were fantastic even if he was drenched.
