<grin> There's a fairly strong fundamentalist bastion nearby (Colorado Springs), and they've coerced many schools to stop calling the holiday "Halloween," and instead say it's a 'Harvest Festival.' Of course, the pagan roots of harvest celebrations are legion, but I'm not sure they've figured that into their equations of "good & evil."
