Halloween - Page 3

I love Halloween because I love to watch all the kids and their enjoyment of it. It's a great favorite of children, as a previously stated running a close second to Christmas. I love the costumes and the goodies and the spooky feel of it. I know that it can be much more dangerous than in the old days but it's a fun tradition that doesn't have to represent the dark or evil elements. I believe that's an individual choice, in how we celebrate the holiday. This year I plan on an elaborate costume to wear on Halloween and at work which always sponsors a contest, and at a lip sync competition which we are having at church in November. I'll kill two birds with one stone that way. My song at the lip sync is "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra. Can you guess what my costume will be?

My kids are all ramped up and ready for halloween this year. We will make final costume decisions next week and go buy them. Since my kids are younger, I can get home at a decent hour to hand out candy to all the kids coming by. I just hope it starts warming up a bit, its rather cool around the midwest lately, brrr!

Being pagan, I love all things Halloween. The festivities, the rituals, the horror films, it's my favorite holiday by far. It gets a bad rep though, in this world of "witches=bad" idealogy.

There is more Discussion on this in the Studies of Mystics Board, but I will say that it is celebrations like Halloween that seem to actually give witches a positive light. In fact, more countries are starting to adopt Halloween because witches=money.

laugh.gif, I never thought of it in that light. On a somewhat unrelated-yet-still-relevant note, it does support a pet theory of mine, that most people will abandon their self proclaimed morals in the name of the Almighty Dollar.

Halloween - Page 3

Every time I hear the word "Halloween," I always smile and shake my head in dismay. Most parents are anxious to raise their children to believe in God and to follow the teachings of the Bible. Emphasis is usually placed on the importance of loving one another, showing respect for your elders, strangers, those you love and don't love. So why may I ask, do parents encourage their children to participate in Halloween, a festival that embraces evil? I fail to understand why it is considered acceptable for a parent, to encourage a child, to go around his neighbourhood, begging for food (okay, treats and candy). And what happens if someone does not give out candy? In some countries, children may stone a person's home with rotten eggs, tomatoes or anything else they could find. This is only done when a person refuses to participate in this pagan festival. So we teach our children about the importance of respecting our elders or strangers and under the same breath, we encourage them to condemn others for being different and not satisfying their needs. I fail to see how anyone's child will benefit from a festival such as Halloween. Maybe I am just old fashioned!
