And who decided Luther or Calvin or your own particular faith leader was worth listening to - the bible does not mention their names?

Your question is a desperate attempt to justify rejection of something wholesome and attractive and entirely biblical.

Huh? My asking the question "where does scripture sanctify it" is an attempt to justify rejection of something that is "entirely biblical"? That's a bit circular. If it's "entirely biblical" then show me where.

I'm also not following your "pride" thing. I'm prideful because at this point in my Christian walk I have begun to question man made traditions in light of scripture and what may or may not be pleasing to my Father? How is that anything but humble? Isn't it prideful, rather, to insist that we know better than He does?

Plenty of Christians reject Halloween because of its origins. There are similar origins for elements of Christmas and Easter. Why are they ok? I'm not sure they are anymore.

But that's my walk. Enjoy the holiday season.
