Halloween/All Hallow's Day
This controversial holiday is a day many kids look forward too, almost as much as Christmas. In their eyes it's a time to dress up in their favorite character's costume, get together with friends and go trick-or-treating.
Re-named, All Hallow's Day, Christians celebrate this holiday in a variety of ways. Some schools host All Hallow's Day events that are very similar to the "Halloween" parties, except the children must dress up as their favorite Saint.
