Abject Pumpkinism

It's spooky season, it's harvest season, it's pumpkin season, it's nesting season, it's hygge season, it's cuffing season, it's christian girl autumn -- but where do all these labels and ideas come from?? As the nights draw in, Dan and Kasia ask how we got from the ancient Celtic pagan festival of Samhain - where the boundary between the mortal world and the Otherworld opened to allow the dead to walk amongst us - to Halloween Nike Air Max 90s and pumpkin-spiced-latte candles? And why are kids in urban primary schools taught quite so many songs about the importance of the harvest??
