If everyone's an honorary Irishman/Irishwoman on St Patrick's Day, is everyone an honorary Neo-Pagan on Halloween?

Sounds like a plan!
Now if only they would learn a little something about Samhain. Well, I can wish, can't I? :)

I don't see why. Halloween is a secular holiday whose common practice bears no resemblance to the actual observance of the NeoPagan holiday Samhain which begins the same evening.

Works for me. If only they would then know a little what they are celebrating.
Oh I don't celebrate St. Patricks - even though I am part Irish.

Although it has traditions that date back to pre-Christian times, Hallowe'en is essentially a Catholic holiday. Maybe it makes everyone an honorary Catholic? Naaw.

Fair-weather religion. Makes sense.
People need to fit in and conform at times, they havn't established a self-worth or idea of what they want and still need others to tell them who they are.

They'd like to think they are. /eye roll
