Since Halloween is a holiday that manages to exist today, despite the contrasts of the beliefs that make it up being stronger than in other American holidays (as far I know), I thought I'd approach the subject of the upcoming holiday from this angle. Or something.

I went ahead and picked the candy choice. After all, I'm willing to bet that very few people even take into consideration what Halloween used to be about any more. The just like to dress up, decorate their yards, and hand out/get candy.

To me, it's an excuse to dress up as a video game character and not get weird stares. Or arrested.

And candy. Can't forget candy.

People come up to me a lot. "Aren't you a bit old to dress up and trick-or-treat?" To which I reply, "I'll be too old when I'm dead."

I picked the candy one too, just because it was an overal positive response. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays- and as a matter of fact, I do remember where it originally came from. In fact, in college I participated in Samhain rituals with a pagan group in that area, so you could say I don't just acknowledge it, I've done it. However, I still love decorations in the Halloween stores, costumes, goodies, etc. Halloween is overall many good things, to me.
