I came across this topic in another forum. It asked if you would allow your kids (if you have) to celebrate it and if you had yourself. The OP brought up its pagan and arguably Satanic origin. Now, I say regardless of its origin, it's now just a fun holiday for kids, teens, and those who are still kids at heart to have parties, get dressed up, or go trick-or-treating (though the latter don't really do that much
). I celebrated it when I was a kid and through my teenage years and never once did I feel an urge to turn away from the Lord. Neither have my sisters or any of my friends and neighborhood kids. My wife and I are certainly giving out candy this year and we have Halloween decorations.
I think if we follow the logic that we shouldn't celebrate Halloween because of its pagan origin, then according to this, we shouldn't be allowed to decorate our homes for Christmas because the decorations have roots in the Norse Yule festival.
