I agree. And as a Roman Catholic of Irish descent I fully understand the origins and meaning of Halloween. Dressing up to scare the Devil? I’m in!

It’s a fun holiday. Each to their own. I just don’t like censorship no matter the source.

I’m Catholic of Irish descent... we’re twins from a different Mother! Censorship/regulations/restrictions start “small” and grow into a big consuming monster. I believe the ancient Celtics carved faces into turnips to scare away evil. Today, we use pumpkins. (that is far better since carving a turnip could prove dangerous!!! LOL)
