[Camaclue]

This year I planned on being an astronaut with a gun.




I can't find a good astronaut costume, so I'm going as myself with a gun

...It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight, rising up to our rivals....

My sister and I are sharing the same costume this year since our Halloween parties are on different days, and it was just a really awesome costume.

Me as Chell from the video game Portal (with a cameo of my friend Mr. Post-it man):

Hey neither do I. i think it's a stupid holiday. Not to mention it's possible roots in paganism.

What is stupid about free candy? It's candy, and it's free! Besides, most holidays we celebrate, including Christmas, have roots in pagan traditions. Jesus was not born in December.

Nor did he rise from the dead in March.

Man this must be terrible for you guys.

[Shadow Assassin]

Of all the days Jesus could have been born he was born on Christmas :)
It not the free candy that's stupid its what people are celebrating.

So you guys don't believe in Jesus?

[Neobaron]

Jesus wasn't born on christmas.

Nobody knows when jesus was born.

None of the "source material" agrees.

Of all the days Jesus could have been born he was born on Christmas

No, he wasn't. It would have mentioned the fact it was winter in the Bible. I know Luke says he was born before Yom Kippur, which is something that happens in fall.

It not the free candy that's stupid its what people are celebrating.

Which would be what, exactly? What is being celebrated on Halloween varies widely from area to area, as does the way it is celebrated.

So you guys don't believe in Jesus?

Irrelevant to the point, but yes, I believe a man called Jesus existed. I do not believe he was the son of God.

You asked for it. LEARNING TIME WITH CAM!!!
So, Halloween started many years ago in Europe. The full name is All Hallow's eve, which is like Christmas eve, but less religious. On All Hallow's eve, people believed that all the ghosts of dead people came to roam the planet. So, they think, "Hey, maybe we can scare the ghosts away!" and the tradition of dressing up for Halloween started. Now, you may ask, "What about the free candy?". Well, my dear dumb friend, the people in costumes said, "Hey, we should go to neighboring houses to scare the ghosts away". So they did. And then, the people whose houses got raided thought it would be nice to give them a treat. So there. The origin of Halloween.

Jack O' Lanterns were just lanterns made of gourds. And they made it a commercial Holiday in the early 1900's.
