I feel as long as I teach my kids what's right and wrong from the get go, Halloween, nor any other holiday will be a problem. It's the same thing with that Harry Potter mess and how folks see that as evil. Kids only have a short time to be kids, I don't want to take away any fun filled memories from my child(when I have one)
That is just my opinion of course!

The Harry Potter controversy was so funny to me- I mean, the Onion prints a made-up story mocking people who think the story is about evil, and the next thing I know it is posted all around the internet with people, none of whom actually read the books using it as a catalyst to protest.
Doh!
ANyway, I just wanted to thank you ladies for the great info that many of you have posted on this thread. I really love Halloween. I am one of those who was brought up thinking it was a day to celebrate ancestors and those who have gone before. I never got what was so evil about lil kids going and getting candy! I had sooo much fun as a child doing it, and it's still a favorite holiday for me, just to see all of the little kids out having such a good time- as long as they're careful of course.
