why? is it for the candy?
to me that makes as much sense as osama bin laden celebrating "Independence day" for the fireworks.

halloween has always been a celebration of slutty girls in skanky costumes.
if you dont like but still want to celebrate, no fear, you still have thanksgiving and new years.

happy holidays

My church back home objected (and still objects) to the occult theme revolving around the holiday and encouraged members not to participate. Instead they held a "Hallelujah Night", where kids were encouraged the dress as Bible characters. One year I won first place after I dressed up and told the entire history behind King David. As you can imagine, it was a sad time in my life. And the candy sucked too.

Most Christians celebrate Halloween because it's a fun opportunity for kids to dress up and have fun. Long ago rational people realized that sometimes having fun is just having fun and the only evil present on a given day is that which you add yourself.

I've never been trick or treating. growing up my parents didn't let us celebrate or whatever.. when i got old enough to make my own decisions i just didn't want to.
