They have the day off in Ireland (for All Saints, or All Souls.) Maybe you are in the wrong country.
Yup. Why did I leave? Why? Also, I never knew it was for religious reasons. I always just thought they needed another bank holiday.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Silence means security silence means approval
When I was a kid, the Catholic schools got 11/1 for All Saints.
We never did. All Saints was a school day at Cascia. As was Easter Monday (though we did get Good Friday off).

We used to get All Saints off in Chile, too. Catholicism has got to be good for something.
There is only one person at work dressed up for Halloween. She came in her bathrobe, slippers and curlers and it is awesome. I am kinda crushin' on her right now. Not a good look for a party at a club, though.

The Catholic school on my block when I was a kid in suburban Chicago always got Nov. 1 off for All Saints Day. It seemed entirely unfair that they got my birthday off and I didn't. Also, the parochial school kids liked to come to the public school and make faces at us through the window on days that they had off that we didn't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I never got Halloween off in Canada either. Canadian national holidays. Canadian provincial and territorial holidays.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously? That's so shitty!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

He's been on the bench for a long time; he's no jurisprudential cipher.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is much known about Alito?
Well, he's acquired the nickname "scalito" if that tells you anything.
He's low-key right wing.
It was funny seeing the pres. introduce him. What, no football history? No "I know his heart"? Just his extensive legal background? Huh.
