Halloween Fun!

Most people when asked would say that Christmas or their birthday was their favorite holiday, and while i love both of those days, don't get me wrong, i would have to disagree. For me Halloween is my favorite. You get to dress up and be somebody else for the night. Its all about fun and games on Halloween, you goof off and mess around, unlike Christmas where you have to dress up and behave and all that. Also, everybody participates, its not a religious holiday, though it actually does have a religious background. See, originally Halloween was called All Hallows Eve. Which was a day where the spirit world was supposed to be closer in contact with the human world. The day after Halloween, Nov. 1st is All souls day. All hallows eve is more associated with evil spirts, where as all souls day is more associated with nice or kind spirits. All Souls Day is celebrated on the Christian calendar, and thus making it a religious holiday, however since Christians dont celebrate All Hallows Eve because of its evil association, that leaves Halloween as a religious free holiday. Ok, so thats all the random trivia i have for today. Trick or Treat! =D
