Well, I learned something today: holy day turned into the word "holiday".
Yes the movies on SyFy and Ghostfest runs all of October, I luv em'.....To be honest I was never much of a Halloween person. Except for the influx of horror movies in October, I like them. We darken the house on Halloween and do not answer the door.
Totally agree with you Don....I don't understand people who get upset over Halloween. Sure, it started as a pagan festival. So what? For most people in the US it has no religious significance. People used to believe in witches and goblins. Now they laugh at them. Is that bad? Or do you still think they are real.
Kids and even adults like to dress up in costumes. Look at the success of Comic Cons. The candy is just a small part of it. They can get that any time. The big deal is dressing up and seeing how others are dressed. Would you really want to take that away from the kids?
Sure, it's commercialized. Everything is. That's free enterprise. Look at the price of Mother's day cards.
El Dia de los Muertos is something different. The locals were celebrating that long before the Spanish arrived. It's a serious time to honor and remember those who have died.
Happy Columbus Day, or as the city of Los Angeles has declared, Indigenous Peoples Day.

Who cares? If you like Halloween, dress up and go out to trick or treat, or carve a pumpkin, put it outside, and answer your door when kids in costumes show up. If you don't like Halloween, don't do anything. Your call.
My Mom and Dad did this every year after joining the Elks....their costumes were awesome, i.e., bumble bees, french maid (my Dad) and the butler (my Mom) lol....can remember my uncle dressing as a woman too, it was hysterically funnyMy late husband and I were nuts for Halloween and never missed a big party. We would work hard on our costumes and have such a great time.
If you are talking about (I love Holiday's) is a saying...I love Christmas Eve and Christmas Day....My family go to church and we have fish on Christmas Eve (Italian tradition) On Christmas Day we
have a big meal....I also love Easter Sunday....Fourth of July, Columbus Day, my brother was born on Columbus Day, St. Patrick Day, I was born on St. Patrick Day....New Year's Eve and Day....We celebrate them too.....We also have relatives Jewish...Sometimes we celebrate with them...My Niece is married to a Jewish fellow and he Celebrates Christmas Eve with us....So that's how holy I am.....
This post was for Falcan….(John)….They are all Holiday's to me.....I didn't think people here were mean.....

Yikes, Trade! You bought gold colored dollars for $25 bucks? For real? If I was a kid trick-or-treating I'd be happy to receive a quarter.![]()
