Is Halloween the new Xmas?

Well they have done every thing possible to ruin one perfectly good holiday, why not mess up another? The stores and home shopping catalogs have gone crazy with Halloween decorations. Orange and black lights and giant sized inflatables fill the neighborhood. No one makes their own costumes. People throw elaborate parties. Hardly anyone goes trick or treating anymore. I know its just a matter of time before we all start sending Halloween cards and buying each other Halloween gifts. Imagine Halloween office parties with Halloween grab bags. Formal Halloween family dinners with relatives flying in from out of town . Halloween musack at the Mall. Oh, The Horror.
