  • News to me. Anyone else?
  • This is a great question. It is one of the small things that identify different cultural backgrounds in communities. How neat! Cabbage night is usually used in Rural northern climates (as near as I can tell). We had "cabbage night" in Idaho, but the neighboring community (whose ancestry was largely Scottish) called it "mizzy night" - The town next to them called it "micky night". I don't really know the ancestral makeup of the town I grew up in, or how "cabbage" night came to be the name in our town, but that's what we called it, too. No Goosey, though... Do you know the background?
  • We called it Goose night in the first town I lived in. The second town I lived in, they called it Goosey night. Both towns are in Bergen County, NJ.
  • we just call it the night before halloween nothing special about it!
