"we'd get incensed customers demanding to see the manager, insisting that we stop promoting 'the Devil's holiday.'"
How exasperating that must have been. Hello? If you don't like it, don't buy it.
We had our children in a small religious school for grade school. When our oldest was in kindergarten, we sent him off to school in his Halloween costume for the party that we knew was taking place that day. Imagine my chagrin when he came home with a note from the teacher explaining that the party had been an All Saint's Day party, NOT a Halloween one. Poor guy had been the ONLY kid there in a costume. Fortunately, he never cared a fig for other people's opinion. He was glad he was still wearing his costume...
We solved that problem by hosting a Halloween party every year for the kids and their classmates.
