Halloween would be less popular if...
Arizona Hot:
I was hoping to get more on-topic comments, should I continue or is that futile?

Just making an on topic comment would provide impetus is my guess.
tomos:

this is what halloween was all about:
Halloween would be less popular if...
...that was when all your dead relatives came to visit.

Yes, but dead relatives would probably have weird conversation and ideas.

(according to the link) the whole point of halloween was to keep them away.
You've got to be scary enough at halloween to keep the dead away :)
- sorry. >:(. [just in case] the angry face is to keep the dead relatives away [/just in case]

Naturally when I was a little kid, I wanted to get free candy. But as I got older I didn't like the extortion concept. Ring somebody's doorbell and imply they'll suffer damages if they don't pay tribute. Some celebration.
(Also how do you scare somebody who is already dead by dressing as a skeleton? You can be killed but they can't. So how scare them? Strange.)
Then again I never liked the idea of Christmas gifts either. Everyone running around buying other people stuff they don't want that they then have to return. What a scramble!! My Christmas concept would be everyone start a little fund of crazy cash to splurge on themselves. Get something they wouldn't ordinarily buy. Indulge a whim. Then everyone gets together for a meal and displays the crazy item they bought after saving all year.
It would cut down on the customer service lines later. :)
