Have We Lost Sight of the Real Meaning of Halloween?

There are those who complain about the 'war on Christmas,' and others who complain that we have lost sight of the real meaning of Valentine's day, or Thanksgiving, or Columbus day (thankfully), or the Fourth of July, and so on, but could it be the case that it's the sacred holiday of Halloween, the day when families are supposed to come together and offer animal sacrifices to scare off evil spirits, that has become overcommercialized?

Well, the pundits at The Onion certainly think so...

You're feeling guilty now, aren't you?
