It's Halloween in YOUR neighborhood

<< < (3/3)

gmik:
Hey Craig, the last batch of Candy Corn AND the last fruitcakes came out in the 30's.

Well, my daughter wants me to come down and help take Emma (princess), and the twins (Pooh & Tigger) out around the neighborhood and spend the night.  What am I gonna do????

You betcha.  I am going down.  I want to be w/ the grandkids and be a help- and nothing I have said has made a dent in my daughter- I can't change her only God can. So I am gonna be a good mom to her.

  Funny tho, we NEVER let her "do" halloween and she couldn't wait for it w/ her kids!! (well, we did do all those "harvest festivals" at church - dressed as bible characters and had candy--really really different from the world!) ::)

Even if I was an atheist I would not let my children go out unsupervised at Halloween .......too many weirdos now-a-days.

Enjoy the pooh and the princess .

I think you should just enjoy the day. Christmas, I mean. Obviously it is not the birth day of Jesus, but we are still in the world although not of the world. You need to be at peace in your heart and just go for it because you are grounded in the truth already.

My husband and I are gearing down just to get away from the commercialism and burden. We buy for neices and nephews only now, but otherwise get together with family for a wonderful meal. We don't have small children though.

Love,

Ursula

I agree,

I love Christmas time, but I really downplay Holloween as much as possible - but I have to admit I enjoy a scary movie.  Scripture makers it clear that some people have special days, others don't (Col 2:16)  We just need for it to be clear in our own minds - and not to get legalistic about it and judge others as what they do or don't do.

I agree. I really enjoy Christmas (although it won't be the same this year, since my sister and her family moved to PA).

It seems that some people don't celebrate Christmas because it's never mentioned in Scripture, but I think that was a customary thing. In some cultures today, birthdays are not celebrated. That doesn't mean we should not do so. Yes, I know Jesus was not born December 25. No one knows the exact date, so December 25 works for me. If that date happened to be a pagan holiday, it doesn't affect me, as I am not honoring that pagan belief, but rather, thanking God for the wonderful gift of His Son, who became flesh.

As for Halloween, there are no kids where I live, so it's just another day.

Sandy
