I'm with you guys, girls...Halloween celebrates Satan in my view and I want nothing to do with it. Fortunately, our Bible study was tonight and I wasn't around for the kids...I also trick or treated as did our kids. I think i'm looked at as a weirdo but PTL! Thanks for sharing all!

Our church throws a costume party with the rule of 'no scary costumes'. They call it a fall family costume party. The youth, when they go out in the neighborhood don't collect candy; they collect food items for the food bank instead. I think it's a good alternative. Thanks for reading and for the feedback. PATTYCAKE17 - Sounds like you had fun at your pizza party. You can't go wrong with pizza! lol Blessings to you. HUG Report Inappropriate Comment |

Thanks for sharing. I know we've always apprecaited having a church that has a party so we can have an alternative where the gospel is presented and kids are encouraged to spend time with their parents and siblings and play games. Such a different atmosphere than the dark, fear-inducing things that others celebrate and/or worship. It's a shame even the schools make it all about the ghosts and witches. I'm not sure how it makes any sense to introduce young children to things that produce fear and yet God, whose perfect love casts out fear, is so taboo in the public school. Such is the world we live in. Report Inappropriate Comment |

As a Christian I don't believe in celebrating Halloween, but during my work years as a recreation therapist I always helped my clients celebrate, and as the president of a handicapped organization, I put on a party because it's something that the others enjoy. We don't "get into it", but dress up, and this year the main event was our Pizza Party luncheon. I think most people just enjoy the fun aspects of the day without really believing"in it" or what it represents. And I ALWAYS have candy for the kids!!Thanks for the opportunity to talk about it.

Very good! I haven't participate in Halloween activities for years. I would rather celebrate Jesus and anything remotely connected to Satan and his evil, dark side.

Kasey, it's been a lot of years since I've celebrated Halloween. Even before I was a practicing Christian, I stopped celebrating it. Many blessings to you. HUGS.

I admit it: if I have an unfavorite holiday, it's Halloween. I can see the sense in observing All Saints' Day, and I can even understand All Souls' Day, but the sense of Halloween beats me. Having said that, I feel like the Halloween Grinch - but I still only participate on my terms, lol...
