We celebrate Halloween. The kids do not dress up as anything scary, nor do they want to. They disapproved of the neighbor girl who dressed up as the devil. My kids and I used it as an opportunity to meet the neighbors.
One friend of our, who has now moved, made Halloween into a evening of hospitality. She made a picnic table full of treats, set up the fire pit, and invited everyone around--or passed by. Many of her neighbors currently lived in broken homes, with family members in jail and a lot of poverty.
She made Halloween into an evening of hospitality and charity--doing what Christ commanded us to do every day.
