Truly. We celebrated by going to church. In the Catholic Church, the last day of October and the first day of November are holy days, when we pray for all who have gone before us, including the saints. No costumes. No parties. Some candy (blush...).

These are the same people who want us to 'respect' their 'values'. Ugh, it is rank. Haloween is for kids(and the kids in each of us). What atheists won't tell you is that back in the old days, there were more than 100 'feast days' holidays for saints. Today, we're lucky if we don't have to work on Christmas eve. Atheists stink, they hate everything, including their selves.

November 1st is All Saints Day and the night prior to that is Hallow eve --so I consider Halloween as a Catholic Holiday--we are really honoring the dead and to be exact--the dead Saints. I love Halloween and I eat a bunch of candy!!!!
