Why is there no Halloween section in Holidays? Is Halloween not considered a holiday?

They wait until it's close to the holiday. Plus there are stores dedicated to halloween a lone so many stores don't put out halloween things all year round. It's an expensive holiday, probably the most expensive, and if they order stock, and it doesn't sell, it's useless. Mostly sells in October.

Halloween is actually like Christmas Eve. The night before a Christian holy day.
It is the eve of All Saint's Day or All Hallows Eve or Halloween.
But just like Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is the day before Ash Wednesday, Halloween has taken on a life of its own.
There are hundreds of holidays all around the world and Yahoo cannot give each one a section.
With love in Christ.

Halloween is one of my favorite 'holidays.' I think, though, since no one gets the days off of work it's not technically a holiday...
[BTW, I'm older than 6 and I think it's a fun time. So the person who said you need to be 6 or younger... well, let's say I disagree.]

Halloween is not a Holiday it corresponds with the pagan Sabbat Samhain the end of the Celtic year.

Halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets or money. It is celebrated in much of the Western world, though most common in the United States, Puerto Rico, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia (where its popularity is increasing).
*Good idea! Why don't you submit that question to Yahoo!*

halloween was never a big deal for me or anyone i know in the uk, it always feels like it was more an american thing that has grown into a monster with the spread of cable tv and hallmark!
