Greetings everyone,
I just wanted to make a few comments. As a child, it was natural for me and my family to go trick or treating in my neighborhood. As I got older, I would attend church services.
Anyway, now that I am a teacher (second grade) I have no other choice but to celebrate Halloween. I feel that I cannot deny my students that and I cannot discuss religion in the classroom.
I take care of my 7 year old nephew and my husband had told him that it was against God's wishes. Well I decided to take him anyway because I did want him to feel bad. He has been moved around for most of his life and my husband and I offer him a stable home.
We went to about 10 houses and you just do not know what that did for him. He was so excited.
In conclusion, I know the history says that it is a evil holiday, but their are some ways that we can make it positive.
