When did people start saying HOLLOWEEN instead of HALLOWEEN? Listen to the commercials on tv. That's what they say now.
I noticed that they were saying Holloween on the Peanuts Halloween special and tinydancer, didn't they make that when we were in elementary school?

But--Halloween is short for All Hallows' Eve--in some of my older Bobbsey Twin books they were still spelling it Hallowe'en, and that a is definitely a short a!

now: back to plotting how I will gank some chocolate out of my kids' bags.
