What Halloween has become

October 26, 2011

To the Editor:

All Souls Day and Dia de los Muertos is a religious holiday when we should remember our deceased relatives. However, parents in America have changed the name to Halloween and use the day to take their children to the homes of their neighbors and teach the children to threaten to perform "tricks" unless they are given a treat of candy.
