Halloween

This holiday to me is just a time to dress up and go have fun with friends there is no point to it really; at least to me. This years halloween I spent time with my great aunt and mom down in Arizona after visiting ASU. We watched moives and waited for trick or treaters to come to the door which never happened. And i was all dressed up to i was Me, Myself, and I. In our house hold we stop trick or treating at the age of 13, after that age we are allowed to do what ever we please that night whether it be go to a party or haunted houses, whatever we want the night is ours to take basically. I personally don't think it should be celebrated like Christmas is but rather just as a time for you to have fun with your friends because it's usually the only time of year that people can go crazy and no one thinks bad of them for it. The reason that i can think of best as to why Halloween has had such a drop in trick or treating is because parties are becoming more popular then going to get candy from peoples doors. Children can be affected by their parents and their christian beliefs that halloween is like Christmas for the devil and we must not celebrate it for that reason alone. All and all Halloween is a fun "holiday" and doesn't really have the same meaning as it did in the later days (under certain peoples circumstances).
