Originally, Halloween or All-hallows or All Saints Day was a day of remembrance and celebration to all saints and martyrs that have passed over. However, the tradition has become for children to dress up in costumes and solicit door to door for treats (candy).
In the everyday hustle and bustle of life, we have become such task-oriented beings on a never-ending gerbil wheel.
