The celebration of Halloween is a transmutation of the celebration of Samhein in the earth religons whiche change into All Hallows Eve and eventually into Halloween. It is an amalgamation of many different cultures into one candy crazy costume filled night that we know today.

Halloween, is the Eve before All-Saints Day.
We have holidays so most people can have an extra day off from work.

Holidays are to remember important events. The Bible tells of God telling the Hebrew people to start such observances as Passover to remind them of how He helped them out of Egypt. Then holidays like Memorial Day and 4th of July help people remember and pay respect to all the hard work and sacrifices made to have the freedoms that we enjoy.
