    Article written for kids, but I thought it makes a cute and easy introduction to the event itself.

      I personally don't celebrate this day, but it's always been apart of our stories. Guess I thought a bit more of it this year because of Coco. :P

    I'm writing something about it. It's too fragmentary though, and perhaps I'll be able to get it out this week.

        Thank you :) It's mostly a personal piece though. Let's hope it'll turn out OK.

    You won't swat this guy away during the Hungry Ghost Festival. (Pixabay)

    Argh! This bugs me more than it should. This is like crediting "Google Images" as a source and thinking that's totally cool, you've covered all your legal bases. You're not crediting the author, you're just paying lip service to the terms of the creative commons license. That's not real attribution. Just because it's free to use in exchange for credit doesn't mean you can cheap out on the giving credit part.
