NO. Halloween is not a religious holiday. Yes. All Saint's Day is a religious event for some of us.

Some folks call Halloween "The Devil's Holiday" but I don't. I can't see evil in it at all.

I am still ****ed over the fact that in order to appease a few people it was decided to stop letting our kids wear costumes to school on Halloween. It was so innocent and so much fun.

Now it is called a "harvest festival" and you can come in costume as long as it is a leaf or a corn stalk.

Reason for this thread?

Ahhhhh...I get it! It's the CANDY!!!

Last year's thread on kinda the same subject by the same poster;

What do kids learn from the Halloween experience?
