    For quite a few, it's their favorite holiday. It's a chance to have some fun, dressing up in costume, decorating things up in macab with a twisted humor. Have fun! Enjoy the day!

    How many people celebrate Christmas, but don't celebrate Christmas?

    Mixed religion families celebrate Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanzaa etc. without a care about what the 'religious' ramifications are.

    It's free fucking candy. A kid's dream. Does your wife actually believe that any of the kids who might litter your doorstep worship Satan? Or trees?


    She's missing a good opportunity to make some kids happy. Sounds Christian to me.

    "Malachi 4:2

    The worship of the Sun (Sol) was indigenous to the Romans, who had a temple to Sol Indiges on the Quirinal that was said to have been established by Tatius, king of the Sabines, the first inhabitants of the hill who, after the rape of the Sabine women, reconciled with Romulus and ruled jointly in the eighth century BC (Quintillian, Institutio Oratoria, I.7.12; Varro, De Lingua Latina, V.10). There also was a temple to Sol (as well as one to Luna) in the Circus Maximus, where chariot races took place under the auspices of these deities (Tacitus, Annals, XV.74; Tertullian, De Spectaculis, VIII.1). The four-horse quadriga, for example, was consecrated to the sun, just as the two-horse biga was entrusted to the Moon (Tertullian, IX.3). The foundation dates, too, of the temples on the Quirinal and in the Circus both were in August (the ninth and twenty-eighth, respectively), when the heat of the sun was most intense."

    The marriage of Christianity and the Republican party has formed the no-fun league. They just bitch about everything. Halloween used to be fun for kids. They never gave a thought to the scary shit the Repubs weep about now. Were you people ever kids?

    What you guys have to understand is this....... I like celebrating Halloween and Christmas,....but its not THAT big of a deal. I could easily sit down and have a talk with my wife and it would end up that we could kind of celebrate those holidays again somewhat. But here is the KEY POINT,...she is not wrong. In fact she is 100% right. I cant in good conscience talk her into this stuff when I know she is right. Just wouldnt feel right AT ALL. People get used to things like Christmas or Halloween because we have done it all our lives so we do not question it. But it still doesnt make it right.

    Halloween is not part of the Pagan religion. There is no Pagan religion. Paganism is simply any religion that is not Christian. It's a simple belief in humanity. The name of Halloween came from Christianity though, specifically the Catholic Church.

    This festival (or holiday in today's terms) simply marked a the beginning of a new year on a calendar in use at the time, and celebrated the harvest home, and also remembering those that have passed before us (The Day of the Dead is a similar practice in Mexico, but is held on Nov 1st). In some cultures, such as Mexico, they will set up afrinda alters with photographs or pictures of loved ones in their past family. A rather sweet tradition.

    New Year celebrations are often associated with two faces, the beginning and the end. It is at this time that people also remember their loved ones that have passed. You might say the link between the living and the dead is closest during this celebration. In the States, New Year comes instead after the Winter Solstice, and the 1st month is named January, after the two-faced god Janus.

    Originally the festival was called Samhain, and was celebrated among the Celts. The Catholic Church, in an effort to quash Samhain, created All Saints Day, which ironically is used to celebrate all saints, known and unknown, and including those that have already passed. It later became known as All Hallows Day, again to honor the saints. The Samhain festival was the day before, so it became known as All Hallow's Eve, later shortened to Halloween.

    The tradition of candy for the kids stems from the harvest home.
    The traditions of ghosts, goblins, witches, silly decorations and costumes, grew over the years...sort of a mutation of the Day of the Dead celebration mixed into it.

    If you want to feel miserable on Halloween, that's your business. It's also being an ingrate. Harvest home is a special time. Appreciate the harvest. It feeds you through the coming hard winter months ahead. For kids, it's fun and candy. Why make their life miserable?
