All Hallows Eve is a christian tradition....

Like Mardi Gras, All Hallows Eve celebrations involve people in the ancient Roman Catholic tradition, getting in a little worldly nastiness, before they have to act straight, the next day.

Yes, and? Saints must live among us, and we must live among the Saints.

That does not make us all saints.

Many RC holidays are born in pagan roots - Christmas, for one. Saturnalia, the roman holiday, etc.

So what? Such is life.
