En dansk netavis, som skal forblive un\u00e6vnt, skrev forleden noget \u00e6vl om den “amerikanske h\u00f8jtid halloween”.<\/p>\n

Hallowe’en stammer fra Skotland (og m\u00e5ske Irland), og selvom den nok er kommet til Danmark via USA, kunne man da godt v\u00e6re sig oprindelsen bevidst.<\/p>\n

For det f\u00f8rste staves ordet traditionelt med apostrof p\u00e5 denne side af Atlanten: Hallowe’en, ikke Halloween.<\/p>\n

For det andet bruger man traditionelt roer og ikke gr\u00e6skar. Som Wikipedia skriver<\/a>: “The turnip has traditionally been used in Ireland and Scotland at Halloween, but immigrants to North America used the native pumpkin.”<\/p>\n

For det tredie kalder man det, b\u00f8rnene g\u00f8r, guising, og ikke trick-or-treating. Wikipedia: “In Scotland and Ireland, Guising \u2014 children disguised in costume going from door to door for food or coins \u2014 is a traditional Halloween custom, and is recorded in Scotland at Halloween in 1895 where masqueraders in disguise carrying lanterns made out of scooped out turnips, visit homes to be rewarded with cakes, fruit and money. The practise of Guising at Halloween in North America is first recorded in 1911.”<\/p>\n

Og er det g\u00e5et op for danskerne, at der h\u00f8rer karamel\u00e6bler til Hallowe’en?<\/p>\n

Til slut er her en opl\u00e6sning af Rabbie Burns’ Hallowe’en<\/i>-digt<\/a> (sproget er, naturligvis, scots<\/a>):
