Did you ever wonder who makes candy corn?  Nobody, because the last batch made was in the 1930's :D

Hey dawn, I don't think there's any debate on whether Jesus' birthday is December 25.  It definately is not. 

As far as celebrating Halloween?  I just like to celebrate getting those kids off of my porch.  Therefore, if it takes a little candy to do the job, then I'm all for it.  I try to be social with my neighbors when I can and the little kids are so funny with their innocent demands for candy.  However, the 16 year olds and such get to be ridiculous, especially when they make return trips.  I suggest that they be treated with a little trickery.  If you see anybody over 5-10 on your doorstep, treat their bags with 1/2 gallon of water (poored, of course) and a lead weight.  That'll learn them not to take part in a pagon tradition carried on, souly, for the purpose of making huge profits for the candy producers and stores.  Let's not forget about the dentists and what candy does for their demand. 

Boy, some of those kids are hilliarious when they talk about my scary costumes.  I marvel at how often this happens considering I never, ever, have one on.

Hi Dawn.

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

dawnnnny:
Thank you Ursula   :)
I guess to stop celebrating it all together would illicit some questions that I'm not prepared to answer as yet.
Musicman, you are too funny.  Maybe the ones in who's bag you dump water in see you dressed up as Scrooge?   ;D ;D  LOL
