I may be opening up a can of worms, but it would not be the first time! (((What a Tangled Web We Weave!)))
Our schools (may be your schools too) have changed the Halloween Party to a “Harvest Festival”.
You know that all those years growing up “Halloween” has really just corrupted me for life!
I understand that this is a “politically correct” (or in-correct) thing to do (is it really a Church and State issue?). We have to be sensitive to others…yada yada yada…
How many people know the origins of Halloween?
Well, I did not know the origins so I looked it up. Here is a link, it is very interesting.
The History of Halloween
So are there really that many people that even know the “All Saints Day” has anything to do with Halloween?
I say let our kids be kids and have some fun.
Next thing they will be changing the “Valentines Day” to “Friendship Afternoon” and ok, now I am getting ridiculous!
Oh, wait, they are going after Valentines Day too…. St. Valentine… But that is a different story!
HARVEST FESTIVAL vs HALLOWEEN…GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

I just saw a statistic on Halloween, and how the amount of money spent on decorations has gone up huge percentages...(maybe not this year?)
I actually shop at the end of the season and buy clearance decorations for next year...and next year, and next year...
