Doesn’t seem too Christian to me.

All Hallow’s Eve is most definitely christian, more Catholic/Pagan than naught as the next day is All Saint’s Day and Mass is to be celebrated. The tradition of Halloween came from the run on of All Hallow’s Eve.

To say that Halloween has no connection with Christianity is assassine and absolutely false. It’s a misnomer.

The author of this thread is more “evangelical” and preachy about what his interpretation should be than what is and has been for hundreds of years.

With that said, for the past couple of years I have gone to the bowling alley to play a couple games and drink a few mountain dews. This does not preclude me from wanting to participate its just that during those years we have had few tricksters come to the house. We won’t talk about the times a couple of parents got mad at me when I would dress up for Halloween and scare the beejeebies out of their youngins. They would toss their bags/pumpkins high into the air, spilling all of their candy on the ground and make a mad dash all the whilst screaming for their mommies or daddies who laugh initially. Their laughter turns to anger when the kids won’t stop crying. It’s all good Halloween fun!

It’s not like I take my covenant out to some grove in a dark forest and chant in front of a large black kettle over a roaring bonfire or something. I mean me with my green pointed nose with a wart, the pointy large brimmed hat and my straw broom to which sits my black cat.

Trick or treat!
Batman smells!
Give me something good to eat!
