AGREED!!
aint halloween about also payin respect to dead loved ones?
no... memorial day and veterans day are the days dedicated to remembering our passed loved ones.
Holloween has many implications, but the important thing to remember is to regard every day as a Gift,
so to honor that particular day, it is also the day of celebrating the Harvest... For it is the beginning of the end of another year's crop, and the blessing be a joyful bounty of canning, pickling, drying and curing food to last through the spring.

The witch and goblin thing came from some weird Christian slant on All Saint's day... which is to honor the saints. THOSE dead people, who have been dead for over 500 years, according to Catholicism. How Saints turned into the evil walking dead for one night before, I not sure, but that is why people dress in cosyume, to hide their identity from the souls released for one night, lest they steal a place in your body
it is also near the fall equinox, so it gets some sort of rarified recognition as being pagan,,, but i dont really see the correlation...
anyway.. to be afraid of Holloween, is as sensible as being afraid of the tooth fairy
