To Celebrate, Or Not Celebrate, Halloween...

Thursday October 30, 2008

That is the question. Some think that celebrating Halloween goes completely against biblical principles, while others believe that Halloween is totally harmless. Yet, no matter what your views are, there will still be little ghosts, goblins, and even Hannah Montanas showing up at your door this October 31st to Trick or Treat. Will you be one of them? Will you be enjoying alternative Halloween programs or parties at your church? Or will you be staying home and avoiding Halloween altogether? Share your views in our poll or write a comment about your thoughts on Halloween.

Halloween as we know it today is totally diffrent from anything in the past. Dressing up in costume (spooky or not) and getting candy is what the holiday of Halloween is about. Other religious holidays may coincide with Halloween, and they should be celebrated as such. To avoid the common practices of Halloween is only detrimental to children. They have but one day a year to get as much candy as their little hands can carry!
