And I doubt most kids are consciously mocking the devil when they dress up, but the light-hearted nature of Halloween creates that kind of vibe around the holiday.

I can't tell what is his opinion and what is historical fact. I guess I have to do my own research to verify. I also wonder how many kids who dress up like ghosts and goblins really understand that they are mocking and not impersonating.
