It’s a celebration of death.

Yep. Seemed like innocent fun in 1950’s/60’s suburban America, but wow, how it’s taken on an entirely new (and to me, weird) status. People seem to treat it as a Holiday, with stores marketing junk and candy in August...

Nowadays it’s an escape from reality a chance to let your imagination go but for the days in the past it was a frightened populace fighting off the grasp from an invisible world.

Yes, it’s very weird.
And part of the weirdness is how it’s kind of forced on us.

In our neck of the woods every kid comes with at least one adult or older teen. A lot of the costumes are homemade, some ingenious.
Lots of fun is had by all.

The only way it succeeded was through massive deception.

It IS a holiday. And frankly it’s the best of our holidays. It’s the holiday that you celebrate by having fun, and you don’t have to do any demonstrative spending.

Lying to you is the only way the devil can get you to do his bidding.

Wrong again, it succeeds because it’s FUN. No pressure to make a feast, or spend money on people, or go to some parade in terrible weather. Just have fun. The only deception comes form people like you flat out lying about it.

Only four more days left to get your Silver Shamrock masks.

I just couldn’t get past Halloween’s massive theme of death.

The use of the term ‘Holidays’ has taken on a new meaning. To me, Christmas, Easter, and to a lesser degree, Thanksgiving, are Holidays. The rest are, again to me, ‘commemorative’ days, with some (Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and formerly, Washington’s and Lincoln’s Birthdays) being more significant than others (MLK Jr. Day, ‘Presidents’ Day, Labor Day).

The sad part is, most people don’t really know why they celebrate Halloween.

If Halloween were abolished, would having fun go away forever?
