My response, since i cannot as yet reply untill i have posted 5 post. The bible says to having nothing to do with the unfruitfull works of darkness. Ephesians 5:11 "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." That is clear as mud and nothing means nothing, no affiliations with the works of darkness. Believers miss nothing when they do not participate as what seems as trivial. The spiritual world is very real and we are not tot entertain them but rather expose the deceptions of them.

I do not have jack o lanterns though. Just plain pumpkins (metal pumpkins). And I keep them out until after thanksgiving. I view plain pumpkins gourds etc as just harvest oriented. Not halloween. The pumpkins are not exactly like this, but similar. http://www.hobbylobby.com/Seasonal/Fall/Pumpkins/Small-Metal-Swirl-Pumpkin/p/80159236 So to answer your question, pumpkins as a harvest type theme geared more for fall and thanksgiving is just fine.

I see nothing wrong in keeping pumpkin outside the house. It does not represent halloween by any means. Even if someone looks at it, they are not going to think we are celebrating Halloween. I would avoid those jack-o-lanterns though We don't give out candies to kids on that day. We politely say this is not something we celebrate or try to stay out of the house! LOL! And we don't have our kids dress up. Those are activities which would make us participate in the event and accept halloween itself. I was telling my wife why don't we put up manger scene now itself in advance! May be that's a better thing to put in the midst of all the devils in neighboring houses.
