I hope you don't mind this Seonaidh and Gràisg, but I am just starting to learn Gaelic and wanted to know what you both said. Is this correct? Seonaidh: When I was younger, we did not have the desire for any Halloween, and I do not have the desire now. Halloween was not part of our culture. For the ...
