On the correct spelling of Hallowe'en

The practice of putting in the comma seems to be dying out! I know that it's also acceptable usage to omit it but I am quite fond of that same comma. What do others think? What other, more archaic or less common spellings of words do people like to use? Gaol instead of jail is one that springs to mind.
