Thats how we felt about Halloween, just dress up and go beg for candy, LOL we are a Christian family and just never thought Halloween was a bad thing, I guess everyone has there own views about Halloween to me it just a day for children to have fun.

It had nothing to do with anything religious for us...it was dressing up in costumes and going to the neighbors houses for candy...we usually would carve a pumpkin a few nights before and put a candle in it and had a few pictures of pumpkins and black cats taped to the window.....at Girl Scouts, we would have bobbing for apples and stuff like that and in junior high in home ec class we would do candy or carmel apples....I do decorate but it's not scary...I have cute ghosts and pumpkins and scarecrows, and even my witch is cute haha.
