I get irritable with people, and a lot of spiritual activity seems to start up around this house. Anyone else, or am I alone in this. Is there anything particular you do this time of year to keep things under control, and under the hand of Jesus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my daughter's favorite holiday, tho. She gets into decorating and everything, like she does every other holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Baton Rouge it's become too dangerous for so many children to be running around unattended as we did in my youth. What little trick-or-treating I have seen has been in the more affluent neighborhoods. There are also public events held at churches, malls and the Zoo. Like Christmas, Halloween has become more of a traditional or commercial holiday than a religious celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not alone in this one. This year it's so much worse since the death of my husband and my issues seemed to have stirred things up beforehand anyway. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I am hoping to put together an alternative celebration for the kids. Our town doesnt allow trick or treating anyway but they do hold a party at the convention center. What I would like to do is have a party for the kids, they can dress up as a Bible characrter, their favorite animal, or just wear their pjs. I would have a cake walk, hand out candy (which is what the kids like about halloween anyway ) and play games. Any suggestions for games and/or activities would be appreciated.

We do somethintg a little different. We know our neighbors are going to be taking their kids out. We set up a stand in our driveway with Hot dogs and drinks and offer them to the parents who are taking their kids around. We call it Hallow-weeners. When they ask why we are doing it we tell then what church we go to and that we are doing it to serve our neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Christmas, Halloween has become more of a traditional or commercial holiday than a religious celebration. Halloween seems tame to me. However, I have many friends who celebrate Samhain. Samhain is a huge pagan holiday but is nothing like Halloween is celebrated today. Today, Halloween is all about costumes and candy. Seems pretty harmless to me.
