I used to do the Halloween thing but not no more
I want to glorify the Lord Jesus

I am more into Christmas celebrating Jesus birthday

I don't like who Halloween is a celebration for
I totally know what you mean... I have worried about that with Halloween too. That's why I enjoy my reverse-trick-or-treating, it kind of turns things backwards and does something God would approve of with the holiday. AND it doesn't involve dressing up or blood/death decorations.

Hi Folks,
I have just been reading some stories from a site...catholiceducation.org...that has an article on halloween. I have just a small excerpt here, Tricks or treats — old style
'Begging at the door grew from an ancient English custom of knocking at doors to beg for a "soul cake" in return for which the beggars promised to pray for the dead of the household. Soul cakes, a form of shortbread — and sometimes quite fancy, with currants for eyes — became more important for the beggars than prayers for the dead, it is said.
Florence Berger tells in her Cooking for Christ a legend of a zealous cook who vowed she would invent soul cakes to remind them of eternity at every bite. So she cut a hole in the middle and dropped it in hot fat, and lo — a doughnut. Circle that it is, it suggests the never-ending of eternity. Truth or legend, it serves a good purpose at Halloween.'
I love it! I love doughnuts! now I shall think of eternity every time I eat one; come to think of it...my favourite sugary doughnuts, all nice and round with a hole in the middle are heavenly!

Praise the Lord! Halloween will never be the same again! :clap:
