I enjoy the Holiday, I have always gone by the rule "don't give the devil his due". Satan, or evil personified, only has power over me, if I let it. I am a mature, God loving woman of Faith, and trust that little children delight in it, and preteen, (boys especially) see it as the last rite of childhood, and tend to prefer Pirate costumes. It is spooky in the northern climes this time of year, it gets dark early. Halloween sort of cheers a lot of people up, I do not attach it to devil worship, and yes, I am aware of all the opinions that say otherwise. I live close to a small town, and I love to go and sit in my car and watch the parade of littles with their moms and dads skipping and laughing and giddy with the treats. My opinion is, if I spent my days and hours sniffing out evil all the time, I would miss the Glory of God. He wants me to rejoice in his Creation and in his Mercy. I still hang bats and skellies on the tree where I leave a large bowl of candy, surrounded by lit pumpkins. I do not see that as participating in Evil. Ouija boards, tarot cards and false prophets on the other hand are another thing entirely. I am actively trying to call in Spirits, trying to divine the future, and giving my attention and focus. On Halloween, I am delighting in childhood and fun. Laughing at spooky old dark nights of Autumn, glad that I am old enough and don't have to deal with an overtired 5 year old on a sugar crash anymore.My son is 25 now, a Christian who studies scripture and a fine example of a young strong man. He loved Halloween as a little one. To each his own, I guess.
