I never liked the idea of Halloween. We don’t celebrate evil or fear. And I don’t want to teach my kids to be beggars. We always have family night at home on Halloween.
This obnoxious manifestation — actually started out as the “Eve of All Hallows” — children DID dress as saints in the very beginning.
It has been corrupted by the modern world. Stick with the saints and you can’t go wrong.
We all know the apostles — have children be apostles!
