What do you think about the celebration of Halloween, an obviously pagan, nearly devilish holiday? My Dad said when he was a kid Halloween was a fun time for kids to dress up and go trick-or-treating and play around, make fun of the things that scare them. Then hollywood made those scary horror movies, the horror movies called 'Halloween', about murder, bloody gore and demon possession, and they ruined the celebration of Halloween. I hate horror movies, I never watched them until i was in my 20s, I watched Carrie, and it made me angry to see my Christian faith mocked. A lot of movies make fun of Christianity. Horror movies often show Christians as bad guys, abusive parents hypocritical leaders those who pervert justice and make a normal human being into an instrument of God's wrath.
When I was a little girl Halloween used to scare the pants off me. When I switched from a strict protestant Christian private school to a public school, they allowed the kids to wear their costumes to school. The 4th and 5th grade boys were distugting ugly gross masks to school. I hated the horror movies that came out of TV, and there were gross decorations. Plus I lived in Florida with no change of season, no beautiful fall leaves in brilliant fiery colors, pumpkins don't grow well in Florida, but they were at the grocery store. I didn't understand the thing about the black cats, I compared it with racism for cats. But I never told anyone till now. i like cats. About witches, well I heard there were good witches, but that is a lie the devil comes up with to hurt people, especially the witches themselves. I once had an interest in magic, I wanted to help people and have adventures.
Anyway, I like dressing up in a beautiful costume. I want to be a princess, angel, fairy, southern belle, and mermaid. I like chocolate. And fruit flavored or cinnamon flavored candy. i like pumpkin pie. I like fall leaves and pumpkins, mums, asters, and cute cats.
So I guess the answer is it depends on how you celebrate Halloween. Avoid evil dark satanic stuff. Trick or treating is not allowed because it is dangerous. I think I'll just stay home and work on my drawings and stories.
