[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think because Halloween is considered Christian and we no longer have Christian-centric public schools.

Which is totally hypocritical since we still "happen" to close for other Christian holidays.

I'm not Christian but I think it's silly.  My kids enjoy all the commercial aspects of Christian holidays, fine with me if school has parties around them too.  [/quote]

LOL No. Most definitely not a christian holiday. In fact, some branches believe it's the devil's birthday. Also, schools close around Christmas as well not just because of Christmas, other religious holidays happen around that time as well, along with New Years. I know it's 5 years late, but this response is better than nothing.  [/quote]

Hah. Reminds me of a former neighbor, who was concerned we might be devil worshippers because we had Halloween decorations. I told her we're candy worshippers.

I'm old, and none of the many schools I went to allowed Halloween costumes in the 60s and 70s. It wasn't appropriate for school then or now. It's not some sudden turnaround.[/quote]
