Peace & Blessings

Well, from the Christian stand-point, I am a devout Roman Catholic, who attended Catholic School and we had Halloween Parties in school.
They explained to origins of Halloween to us,which is how All Saints Day came about (to banish the evil from the night before). So, growing up, I got to dress up twice: once as my favorite character and once as my favorite Saint.
Although, like BlueNile2, I don't have any children yet...when I do, I will celebrate both the Pagan holiday of All Hallows Eve and the RC holiday of All Saints Day.
My thought is, if you explain it to children, then they're should be no issue...it's all in good fun.
