No, I'm not new here and I don't mind people being rude if they actually ANSWER the original question.

Very few people here actually tried to answer my main question. That's all.[/quote]

Because there's not a good answer.  No one is going to provide you with an epiphany that is going to make this all gel for you and what you perceive to be a religious (or anti-religous) holiday.  You are new to this country. [b] Halloween is *very* American.[/b]  It is garish, consumer oriented, creative and lots of fun.  Take it for what it is.  Create your own traditions around Halloween with your child -- carve a pumpkin together, bake cookies, make a costume.  Experience Halloween and you will discover it is not religious, it is not about devil worship -- it is for fun.[/quote]

Another American who just has no clue about where traditions come from.  I can totally picture you too.  Are you from Kansas?[/quote]

Not the PP you quoted, but are you trying to be insulting?

I totally agree that Halloween is a very American holiday.  I'm a first generation American, and it is definitely not celebrated where my family is from.  But, I LOVED Halloween as a kid.  What's not to love?  Free candy and you get to dress up??  It's the perfect holiday as far as I'm concerned.  You don't have to spend much money - you can make your own costume and you can still have a great time.[/quote]
