Hallowe'en is all about (these days) maintaining that evil and blood and gore are (along with homosexuality) all normal elements of growing up

I have NEVER seen anyone dress like Jesus and rather than take a treat, pass out a tract ...

Since Reformation Day is on the 31 the folks used to dress like priests and pass out indulgences to all the RCatholics in the neighborhood who came to the door while we dressed like German monks complete with hammers and nailed everyone’s mailboxes shut.

Just kidding.

My 2 closest friends at the time were RCatholic and we would go out and have a good time meeting all the neighbors. There was a lonely widow down the street who used to make home made popcorn balls for us, expecting us to stay and visit for a while, which we did, and with the good kids and good neighbors out and about that night there was no way for the bad kids or bad people to cause trouble.
The next week in school we would share the candy with the kids whose parents would not allow them to join in, we understood, and they understood, in the way kids do, that it is not what goes in that makes you unclean but what comes out. If you are well grounded in Christ, nothing has power over you.

Halloween is what you let people make it to be, so take it away from darkness and make light of it. If you leave a vacuum, evil will fill it up.

It's eternal and non political/sexual/satainc unless you make it so. Dad would be well into his 90s if he were alive today and did the same things kids today, for the most part, do

“I have NEVER seen anyone dress like Jesus...”

That would be kind of blasphemous.
