Trick or treat?

I don’t think Halloween should be banned because it’s just a sort of Carnival. Children don’t mind if it’s an American tradition or not, they just want to have fun.
Of course there is a business beside it but business is everywhere: what about Christmas – the Italian Catholic festivity par excellence?
Halloween has been imported and we can’t do anything about it; instead of complaining we could take advantage of it.
At school, for example, teachers should explain the history beyond Halloween so that a commercial festivity can become a way to know another culture (or some aspects of it).
However, it’s not an Italian tradition and many people think it’s a farce, a desperate attempt of emulation.
As you can see the topic is very controversial, that’s why I decided to carry out an opinion poll. No elusive answers are allowed:
Yes or No, and If you are really really hesitant, I don’t know.

I’m curious to know what do you think… See you on Monday
Stefania
