Apparently "Halloween" is the name of a holiday that has pagan roots even though the practices are nothing like pagans use to do. I have a solution.
Today, I'm inviting everyone to celebrate a new holiday that I'm creating. Every October 31st, I will now be celebrating "Hallowean"... not to be mistaken with "Halloween". Apparently one has pagan roots and the other was created just today, by me.
Hallowean is a day where people fellowship with their friends and family, go door-to-door in hopes of delicious yums yums, all the while dressing up in costumes (these aren't pagan rituals no matter how much someone tries to twist this). Now we all have a holiday to celebrate that has no ties to paganism... Pagans can't claim an entire day either, so if you make the argument "But it's still celebrated on the 31st of October" then all a pagan has to due is just declare every day a holiday and then we run out of days to celebrate stuff...
Anyways, I invite you all to have fun and celebrate the 1st annual Hallowean!
