It just depends on what is happening that year. Last year I was going to a Bible study committment, and so DH and the kids stayed home.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully we live on a secluded street, so we don't get trick or treaters.<BR/><BR/>But due to alot of legalism in my past, it is something that I am trying to learn to be graceful in with other Christians.<BR/><BR/>I still believe it is wrong to celebrate the death aspect of it. <BR/><BR/>But kids also have a hard time accepting the meaning behind it, when they see the "fun" in it. Like the candy, and the dressing up. <BR/><BR/>Like you, I was old enough to realize the evil in it when my parents decided to stop the celebrating of it.<BR/><BR/>But my kids are in the "inbetween" stage. Of seeing the "fun" as well as the evil.<BR/><BR/>It's kind of a hard place for me. We celebrate "fall". When God gives us a bountiful harvest. But not the death part of halloween.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll write a thing about it on my blog. <BR/><BR/>But basically I agree with you. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640570340118197469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-25122018728829137512007-11-01T07:45:00.000-05:002007-11-01T07:45:00.000-05:00Hi Amy,Thanks for stopping by my blog and giving m...Hi Amy,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog and giving me a link to your article!

You could have the movie theater to yourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
