Noah had trouble getting folks to join him on the ark. Don't worry.
We don't celebrate Halloween either. Our children get plenty of candy, and they have plenty of time for make-believe/dress up.
Last Halloween, we were doing our annual Christmas shopping, and we stopped at a local city park parking lot to take care of our newborn baby. We quickly noticed an out-of-the-ordinary gathering. There was a Wiccan ritual event taking place at the park. I had never seen such. It was bizarre. To say the least. Grown-ups all dressed up in black robes, marching up the hill to the highest point in the city. (non-building) Bizarre. Halloween's not just for kids going door-to-door and saying, "Trick or treat!"

Consider *any* religious excercise form *any* religion. To an outsider, it's bizarre. Dressing up in a robe and going toa hilltop to commune with Nature or whatever is objectively no weirder that putting on yer Sunday Best, going to an inefficiently designed stone building and being lectured at about a book you're perfectly capable of reading yourself.
God forbid people pratice religion their own way... That pesky Freedom of Religion... I don't like Wicca, but who am I to tell people in how they should live..
"Grown-ups all dressed up in black robes, marching up the hill to the highest point in the city."
Sounds like a Roman Catholic monastery near my home. It is pretty wierd seeing all those grownups in black robes. Kinda scary, huh?
