It's also the time of year when Christians bring out the judgement guns. People who mean well, but forget the whole "judge not" commandment we find in the Bible...interesting how that happens.
Our family celebrates Halloween! *GASP* Settle down, people, settle down.
Do we set up a shrine to the devil and sacrifice cats in order to try and call up spirits from the beyond? Nope
Do we pray to the moon and thank Mother Earth? Nope
Funny though, that's how it is perceived by those Christians who choose not to participate.
If you choose not to go trick or treating or hand out candy. That's cool. It's your right, you know that whole free will thing. I don't go knocking on your door or filling up your FB newsfeed with messages of "How dare you deprive your children of the experience!"
I don't try to make you feel guilty for it.
I don't list a bunch of unrelated Bible verses in order to prove my point.
I will, however, post pictures of my absurdly adorable children decked out in their Super Hero costumes (Batman and Robin this year) because they are just that stinking cute and awesome.
A friend of mine shared this blog post and it's perfect:
Why I Celebrate Halloween
Enough said.
Happy Halloween or Happy Candy Day or Happy Regular Thursday to you!!
