All Hallows Eve

Halloween is almost always linked with candy, costumes, and scary stuff as soon as the word is mentioned. Most people do not realize the historical background to Halloween. All Hallows Eve is the day before All Saints Day. All Hallows Eve is a catholic/christian religious holiday. All Hallows, much like Halloween, is a day for feasting on treats, apples, nuts, and harvest fruits, and was part of pagan worship for centuries. This holiday was to celebrate the recently departed (the dudes that just died) and has turned into something that causes distress for many. Halloween, now-a-days, is celebrated in great excess by practical jokers by vandalism, tricks, and other shenanigans. I think All Hallows Eve should be treated with dignity and respect, but still allow the young to have fun. What's your opinion?
