GOOD MORNING !
ARE YOU CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN?
We turned on our porch lights and shared a ***big smile*** and lots of candy with our neighborhood kids. God loves them - and so do we!
My love of Halloween began with sweet childhood experiences
For us it was is a time of family togetherness (going to pumpkin patches and carving pumpkins together, baking treats and goodies, and creating costumes
When my children were young, we went out with our little bags to 'trick or treat', but didn't ever trick, because that wasn't allowed. We simply wanted the candy that went with going from house to house on that special night
It seems no other holiday feels as mutually beneficial to grown folks and kids. When else do 4-year-olds, 14-year-olds, and 40-year-olds put on goofy outfits, play silly games, and eat handfuls of candy together?
I still don't feel like it's harmful for kids to dress up and have fun with their friends. I have found Halloween to be a great way to meet neighbors
And that Halloween for us is about fun, creativity, candy, pumpkins, and hay rides
The name "Halloween" is actually a Christianized term:
It means the night before All Saints Day (All Hallows' Eve).
In truth, the word "Halloween" is a much better name for a Christian
festival than a scary movie
