I Want to Learn More About History

Older people are telling me that Halloween didn't used to be the big deal that it is now (in many places). Do you share that impression? If you do, why do you think Halloween has become such a major holiday?

I grew up in the 60s. it was a kid's holiday - not a big deal - not a lot of parties - just go out and get your cavity/diabetes bag filled and get sick of candy after a couple of days.

Christmas was the big holiday - and there was more emphasis on Christ then.
