Halloween - Let's Get It Straight!

Just wanted to make a quick post to vent my frustration with the people on television who think they know everything about everything.  Halloween is NOT a celebration of the devil or anything evil.  Halloween is a diminutive of All Hallowed Eve.  It is the night before All Saints Day, followed by All Souls Day.  Christians, and especially Catholics, celebrate the good people who went before, our Christian ancestors.  The holiday celebrates these people.  How in America it came to mean the devil, I don't know.  This year many Catholic churches are asking people to light a candle on Halloween for the Saints.  We want to bring back the holiness of this holiday.  It is not a celebration of ghosts and goblins and scary things.  Our Saints are a reminder that all of us have goodness and God in us...and all of us should strive to follow their example. Television talking-faces, GET OVER YOURSELVES!
