Halloween

Today is Halloween. Many people are celebrating Halloween and many are not. Many Christians don't believe in celebrating this holiday. That is just fine for them and I don't think any less or more of them for it. I am a Christian and proud of it. However, I don't see anything wrong with dressing my kids or me up and going trick or treating. I personally don't know the real reason WHY this holiday started, but dressing up is fun. I however will not let my children dress up as something that would be against God. Zombies, Ghosts (unless it's the Holy Ghost), scary things or anything like that. Dressing up as a princess/cowboy or whatever and going door to door getting candy is a fun thing for children to do.
At our school we still celebrate Halloween and have a parade. The students love it. I normally dress up, but this year I have a doctor's appointment so I didn't dress up.
Justin is growing a big beard (which by the way I hate) but he wanted to wear a flannel shirt and have an ax and go to work as Paul Bunyan. However, I don't think he had a flannel shirt so he didn't go as anything this year either.
