Halloween derives from druidic samhain observances that involved human sacrifice to appease gods at the change of the seasons. Over time, the holiday morphed into an annual date on which pagans believed spirits of the dead walked the earth. Gourds were carved grotesquely to resemble skulls and illuminated from within to ward off these spirits. Disguises/costumes were worn either to hide from these spirits or to impersonate pagan dieties. Trick-or-treating derives from appeasement offerings to demons and their representative druid priests.
Do you have a Christmas tree in your home for Christmas? Maybe you don't. There comes a point in time when what use to be represented by holidays is no longer represented. I don't celebrate halloween bc I don't have children and I hate having ppl knock on my door or ring my doorbell. I'm antisocial that way, but if others want to walk around for hours in the cold just to get candy when they can go to the store and get the same said candy then all I can say is, "Exercise is good for the heart!"
