Halloween is not a holiday. :P



Yes it is, it's just not one we get off and paid for!:P

Hallows' Eve,[5] is a yearly holiday observed around the world on October 31, the night before All Saints' Day. Much like Day of the Dead celebrations, the Christian feast of All Hallows' Eve, according to some scholars, incorporates traditions from pagan harvest festivals and festivals honouring the dead, particularly the Celtic Samhain;[5][6][7] other scholars maintain that the feast originated entirely independently of Samhain.[8] Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, watching horror films, as well as the religious observances of praying, fasting and attending vigils or church services.[3][2][4][1]

Then here is another url that lists HALLOWEEN as an US Holiday (and this one can not be edited by anyone at anytime like wikipedia!)

http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/National_Symbols/American_Hollidays.html

Just because IT IS NOT a "Federal Holiday, DOES NOT mean it isn't a holiday.

So again, I say and so does the above site, Halloween IS a holiday, always has been. And I can keep digging up urls that state that Halloween is, in fact, a holiday.

And some more urls:

http://www.usafederalholidays.com/halloween.html

http://www.usa.gov/Topics/Halloween.shtml

http://www.usa.gov/citizens/holidays.shtml

So if the US GOV says Halloween is a Holiday, it MUST be a Holiday! After all, I've worked many places where Banks and Postal Employess were off and paid for a Holiday, but I didn't get it off or paid extra for it, like Columbus Day, Martin Luther King Day, even July 4th! which are also recognized Holidays, but I sometimes got them off or I didn't get them off, nor was I paid double time for having to work on them. So then I could say since I didn't get them off or paid for them, they aren't holidays either, but that would be a false statement.
