At my previous church, we celebrated "All Saint's Day" where the children came dressed as Biblical characters and was an alternative to 'Halloween', which is probably what my kids (if I had any), would attend, for simply the inherently safer environment.
I have some scarecrows and pumpkins gracing my front yard, and will have lots of candy for the little ones. Much like commercialism has stripped away the essence of Christmas and Easter, to the point that it doesn't mean very much to non-believers, I also feel the same about Halloween. I do not get out the Ouija board, cast chants, intonations or spells during this time. I bring out the candy, the pumpkins, my Ghana African Queen attire and a couple of campy horror movies on the tele. I have no doubt that evil is alive and kicking on all Hallows Eve. But it won't be kicking that night at my house.
