Happy Hallow Weenie

I hate the fact that so many schools and communities have distorted the true meaning of Halloween and negated its existence with "Fall Celebrations." Sheesh.

Some begging of free candy . . . witches, vampires, goblins and black cats and people go all Christian-y on you.

Give a vampire kiss to someone you love. Remember Carou Vamp? Didn't she make bats in the Book Shelf?

I miss Carou. Well, if Christians can't have CHRISTmas in the public schools they rest of ya'll can't have Halloween. It's a two edged sword.

Uh, should I point out that Christmas's date is borrowed from the pagan feast of Mithras (a celebration of the Winter Solstice)? Should I also point out that Halloween is technically the eve of the CHristian celebration of the dead--All Saints' Day? So Halloween is as Christian as Christmas, and Christmas is as pagan as Halloween.

Rosa,
They'd just say you were "of the Devil."

I didn't say I was against Halloween. I was just pointing out the reasoning. Geeze.

I'm still pissed because I dressed up to hand out candy here at work last night, and we only got one trick-or-treator all night! Now, we have three big bags of candy laying around the house.

"the true meaning of Halloween..."

The true meaning of Ha-halloween is right up there with the importance of the true meaning of blowing your nose.
