Halloween
From The Red Pill
Halloween is second only to Christmas in popularity in the United States and in money spent. The reasons for this are plentiful, one being is that it is fun to act out fantasies that are normally not part of the adult landscape. For children, it is an opportunity to experience the supernatural in an enjoyable and safe way. Many Halloween customs originated with the pre-Christian religious practices of the Celts with Christianity later modifying them.
