[QUOTE="bucky, post: 1383432, member: 10588"] My two cents is that Halloween is fine for kids if it just involves putting on a cute costume and some candy. I'd even be OK with cute versions of "scary" staples like witches, mummies, vampires, and skeletons, but if you're not, have your kid be a dinosaur or a princess or something. I also have a soft spot for Halloween because I see it as a great American tradition and think Americans need to uphold what traditions we have left. On the other hand, most celebrations of Halloween for adults are really just an excuse to get drunk and attempt to get laid, so as Christians we'd probably be better off avoiding them. Then again, I'm the guy who thinks yoga is OK because it feels OK and doesn't seem to prevent me from feeling the Holy Spirit when I read the Bible, and I can't even decide which church, if any, to join, so you might want to take my advice with a grain of salt.
