Happy Halloween, all.

This one would like to take the time to go through random facts about Halloween.
(For those of you uninterested in Halloween, I think you may find these facts interesting.)

I have heard a few different versions on the Halloween story. I looked it up, because I had a strong disliking towards the Devil's day type thing. (They say it dirived from that, as well as Easter. Gives me scary thoughts of the Easter Bunny. And orgies.)

Shall I go on, now...?

Version o1.)
Halloween is translated into Hallow's Eve.
Hallow, means Soul, or spirit. While, obviously, eve is the day before an actual holiday.
In this version, it is said that Halloween (Hallow's Eve) Is a day to honor the dead and deceased.

Version o2.)
This goes a lot with what they say about Easter. Orgies, satanic workings, all that jazz.
(I'd go into the details, but it's irrelivant.)

That's all I have, so far. :3
I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.
