Halloween is not what it used to be

Tweet

It’s no longer a Pagan holiday where the dead are believed to rise from their graves as frightened people huddle in their homes placing foods on their doorstep to ward off evil spirits.The holiday has taken on an entirely different role in the US and across many parts of Europe,where children use the ancient tradition as an excuse to dress-up in costumes ranging from sinister to silly,before tromping across their neighborhood threatening neighbors with a trick or treat. It’s a time of the year when adults also use old superstitions as a reason to dress equally outlandish before heading out to the bars to celebrate by drinking themselves into a stupor.If you’ve ever seen a scantily clad bumblebee passed out on a bar curb drooling,you know just how wild the celebration can get. your opinions on this issue.
