Yeah.

caledvwich October 29 2007, 21:57:36 UTC

What purpose does it serve, or is the candy the only point?

monsterepellant October 29 2007, 22:01:00 UTC

For children, it's usually the dressing up and the candy.

For adults, it's usually dressing up and the parties.

It's mostly the passing on of a tradition.

Parties?

A tradition, I see. Thank you.

monsterepellant October 29 2007, 22:07:31 UTC

Parties. For fun.

Welcome.

I know what a party is. But why on this holiday?

monsterepellant October 29 2007, 22:21:12 UTC

To celebrate the realm of the dead and the spiritual, originally. But it's become more of a time to celebrate that it's fun to be scared once in a while.

caledvwich October 29 2007, 22:30:47 UTC

I... fail to see the point of that. Tithe, maybe, but not celebration.

monsterepellant October 29 2007, 22:31:45 UTC

Because though people have passed on, it helps to remember their memory and be thankful you knew them.

caledvwich October 29 2007, 22:39:17 UTC

Ah. That makes much more sense.

monsterepellant October 29 2007, 22:41:26 UTC

This might help a bit more.

caledvwich October 29 2007, 22:51:36 UTC

That helps a great deal... though I don't know what a 'pagan' is.

monsterepellant October 29 2007, 22:55:38 UTC

This.

caledvwich October 29 2007, 22:59:35 UTC

You're very helpful, Sir. Thank you.
