Halloween isn't the Devils day. Originally it was called Samhain, the Celtic New Year. Sometimes called The Day of the Dead it was believed that this world and the next were very close on that day and people would celebrate their ancestors and leave food for wandering spirits at the roadside. It was a time of magic and this has filtered down into modern culture as ghosts, witches and the like. Being a Pagan festival it had nothing at all to do with the Devil, as that is a Christian thing. The name of Halloween is derived from All Hallows Eve which precedes All Saints day - a Christian festival. Christmas too is originally Pagan - called Yuletide. The Romans celebrated their own version at this time - Saturnalia. So neither festival is Christian at all. If you don't like Samhain then that's okay, it's your choice. I like it though. By the way, Easter was a Pagan festival too and May Day was Beltane, so you might want to avoid those as well.

Love the atmosphere, hate the shops. So celebrate is maybe the wrong word for me, but i like that time of year.

We adore Christmas and celebrate it with relish. The biggest tree, the glitziest baubles, loads of presents, lashings of food and drink in fact it is quite disgraceful really, but we love it!
