Halloween is the GREATEST HOLIDAY of the year! It is the only holiday in christian western culture not built around some sort of GLOOM & DOOM we have to whip ourselves with cat-O-nine tails till we bleed christian crap. OH, thats right, because it is NOT a christian holiday! Whoo HOOO! People get to have FUN!
No presents to buy, no gloom and doom, no formal dress up, no church! Just drinking and eating and partying with my good old friend Bachus!
Got to love the pagan, christian appropriated holidays! THEY ROCK! X-Mass is next! Over HEAR SANTA! You fat little old germanic heathen, Duke needs a new computer!
One sour not in all this wonderful pagan reverie!

364 1/4 days a year we tell our kids not to talk to strangers, don't take presents from strangers and so on. Then, one day a year we send them out to do just that. Seems like a bad precedent to me.
