Hope you have a restful and Happy Thanksgiving Blane! I never knew about Sint Maarten. Interesting because it sounds like it could be the start of Halloween!

Maggie, I would like to thank you so much for being the reader who likes and comments the most on my Substack! This means a lot to me, especially in a media landscape where it feels like so much of what one writes just evaporates into the ether. Also, Sint Maarten is not in fact the origins of Halloween — that honor belongs to Samhain, which is the centuries-old tradition in Ireland. :)

Another great newsletter. I never knew about Sint Maarten and I lived in Belgium for six years! Those little lanterns are good reminders to keep hope and our generous spirits alive, especially here in the USA where light and love are needed more than ever now.
