Last year I read an article about Hallowe’en. It seems to have lost most of its attachments to religion. This article also said that more homes are decorated for Hallowe’en than for any other holiday – because it is now considered a non-religious holiday and crosses the boundaries of many different religions. I know that when I was a kid, nobody decorated homes for Hallowe’en and in the past 20+ years it has become such a big deal. Some people really go all out. Of course, the person who invented orange leaf bags with faces painted on them was brilliant. Because this is the time of the year that people are raking up their leaves anyway, at least they can now be used for decor.
