Halloween For Adults
Who do you think gets more out of this holiday? Is it crazy, or what?
Every year, this holiday that celebrates the day before All Saints Day gets more commercialized. We have Halloween lights, outdoor displays and people build haunted houses—and you wonder why Christians have a problem with it.
What I find most strange is that there are adults that wear costumes to my workplace. Let’s just say that sometimes what gets worn is inappropriate.
As I’ve said before, I really don’t have a problem with kids playing dress up. And I have no problem with some Halloween Costume Stores, but you have to be careful, because some feature sexy costumes on the front page. Which is fine—if you’re doing something for your husband/wife.
In any case, where do you see costumes being worn around you? Do people come to your door for trick-or-treating? What do you do when they come? Do you hand out tracks, or hide in your house?
Our first couple years that we were married, we gave out tracts to people that came to the door—with candy. Most of the time we’re not around, but for the last couple of years we haven’t done anything, and though I think that it’s not good to celebrate evil, I’m also not sure about not trying to use the time for good.
How do you deal with people at your door?

Indeed–for many adults, Halloween has become just another time to dress provocatively!
Here is why this Christian doesn’t celebrate Halloween. Maybe my reasoning will resonate with you!

@Nathan: We won’t be celebrating Halloween tonight either. Though we are having my parents over, so we’ll have to figure out what to do– even when we leave our light off people still come by to try to get something from us.
