Halloween: A Holiday?

Oh Halloween. Since Halloween is about three weeks away, I have always since wondered as a child if it really is a holiday. I am not a huge fan of Halloween, but did enjoy the fun and experience of trick-or-treating, dressing up, attending kid’s parties, showing up to school in my costume, and of course, seeing what other people were going to be dressed up as. I thought the best way for me to find out more about Halloween is to research the history behind this scary event once a year on October 31st.
