So its the seventh lunar month which means one thing here: ghosts. Aaahhh!!!! Yep, its Ghost Month. And today was Ghost Festival.
Before you get all excited about a daylong marathon of the Patrick Swayze classic, hear me out. Basically, the Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future comes to visit the living and if you don't feed him and the other ghosts, you're in trouble. People leave out food and after a certain amount of time if the ghosts haven't eaten the dumplings and C.C. Lemon (who could refuse that!?!?) then you can eat them.
Also, spirit money is burned. Spirit money is money the ghosts can use in the afterlife to get sweet stuff. Sounds pretty awesome if you ask me.
Please take note that if I ever die, I'd like a few billion in spirt money burned for me as I want to be a high roller in the big house. Xie xie.
