Sucks, don't knock om my door asking after candy etc. when you have done nothing for it and it does not have ties to anything other than candy sales.

OMG YOU H8 CANDY?
It represents everything evil. And that includes free candy. I love it.
So what's your take on x-mas? That's a Pegan holiday.

I think it's the most fun holiday of them all. It's not expensive like x-mas or a b-day. It's just a day for kids to dress up as whatever they want and have fun being kids.http://www.ez-tracks.com/history_of_halloween.html wrote:
Halloween is a holiday of costumes, pumpkins, witches, ghosts, haunted houses and trick-or-treating. What exactly is the history of Halloween? Where did these strange traditions originate?
What is Halloween?
The history of Halloween can be traced back 2,000 years. It was during these ancient times in Europe that the Celts celebrated the beginning of winter on the evening of October 31st. November 1st was the first day of their new year and it also marked the first day of winter. They believed that death was strongly linked to the long and bitter winter. The Celts thought that during the winter the dead and the living existed simultaneously because it was on this day that the dead roamed the earth. Samhain was the name they gave to their celebration of the dead on the evening of October 31st.
However, when Christians began to gain authority in the 800s, the history of Halloween was forever changed; November 1st became known as All Saints Day or All-Hallows. It is believed that the Christians slightly altered the holiday into a church related celebration, honoring deceased saints. Not unlike Celtic tradition though, the Christians too honored the dead on this day. The evening of October 31st soon became known as All-Hallows Eve and was eventually changed to Halloween.
The History of Halloween: Traditions and Customs
Today in America it is traditional to celebrate the holiday by throwing a party in which the guests dress in costume. At these parties people participate in games, play Halloween themed songs and decorate their homes, especially windows and doors with pictures of ghost and witches. Halloween themed music with spooky sounds helps to set an eerie mood. At these parties games such as bobbing for apples are played and spooky ghost stories might be shared. Bobbing for apples is a game in which the goal is to obtain an apple from a large bin of apples in water; however one could only use their mouth in order to acquire the apple. This game is related to the celebration of the harvest, a Celtic tradition.
Today's association of ghosts with the holiday is not far off from the traditions of Samhain or All-Hallows Eve belief. The ancient festivals honoring the dead revolved around the belief in ghosts mingling with the living. Therefore it is appropriate that ghosts are so often linked to contemporary celebrations.
However, the tradition of trick-or-treating and costumes are a little less tied to the history of Halloween. Door to door trick-or-treating began in America however, it was most likely taken from festival parades in Europe. During these parades poor citizens would beg for food. Modern day trick-or-treating is most commonly practiced by children who walk door to door asking for candy. They customarily say "trick or treat" in anticipation that they will be given a treat which is most likely candy.
Today, dressing in costume is also a very popular way to celebrate the spooky holiday. Dressing up in costumes relates to the Celtic tradition of wearing masks on All-Hallows Eve. People would disguise themselves so that they would be unrecognizable to ghosts. Today dressing in costume is very popular and ranges from ghost and witch costumes to trendy costumes such as famous characters.

yea, for the kids its great, but on the other hand the people in high school, all it is about is egging people and shooting each other with paintball guns, shaving cream, other pranks you can think of, etc. Just a pointless waste of money and food.King_County_Downy wrote:

its also great for pedifiles
My cousins arent allowed to trick-or-treat because of their religion. Since its "satans birthday" or something like that, my aunt doesnt let them.
I think you are missing the point of Halloween. It is for little kids, not teenagers, not adults. If you don't want kids coming to your house asking for candy, turn your porch light off, or don't answer the door.
Whats the correct action to take when you reply 'trick' to the 'trick or treat?' question?
are you ment to perform a trick or are they?

thats when they light a bag of shit on fire on your doorstep, or throw eggs at your house. But I guess if you were quick enough you could drench them with the garden hose. I guess whoever is quickest on the trigger.daffytag wrote:

Wilhelm one tip (wich i have used myself some years ): Hide near your house, in a haloween costume, when the kids have got candy, u coming slowly (or bouncing at them, what ever u self think is most scary) out of your spot, and scare the hell out of them, some of them will even start crying... it rocks!
