Unhappy Halloween

I have never, enjoyed the idea of Halloween. I do enjoy it though, getting together with friends to avoid all the trash outside. Last year was really nice, this year I expect to be the same.

I really didn't like walking back home from Durham City seeing all the Halloween decorations, seeing people dressed in costumes of Witches or vampires or devils or monsters, seeing children being led around by their parents knocking on doors... What is this?! What are we doing?

I think that tonight the devil sits back and smiles, we let him in to our lives, we encourage our children to mess with fictional evil things, that in turn makes the devil seem ok and acceptable, I really do not like it...

He has no place in this world, he has no rite to be here, he is not welcome.

(I hope I am not bigging him up too much....)
