Let's discuss: Halloween

Halloween
What do you think when you hear the word Halloween?
I think of candy, ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, and all the festive, holiday stuff.
But Halloween was originally a pagan(satanic) holiday.
Why do you think the word Halloween is so eerie?

But now it's a generally happy little holiday where kids knock on stranger's doors and ask for//demand candy.
What if a person doesn't want to give out candy?
Do they have to leave the house?
Or ignore the insistent ringing of doorbells every so often?
Or turn off all the lights and leave out no decorations so the kids know to stay away?
What's wrong with having holiday spirit but not wanting to defile children's teeth?
What do they do?

And a lot of people take Halloween the wrong way. They take it as an opportunity to scare innocent children or steal their candy. Somebody told me that once I'm too old to trick or treat, I should take childrens' candy when they come to my door and shut it in their faces.
That's so cruel!

At least Christians still get to celebrate. Children go to churches and have a festival so they don't feel left out. My friend volunteers there every Halloween.

I honestly don't have much to say about Halloween. I just wanted to have an currently relevant post. //success

But Halloween is a strange holiday.
As a kid, I still have to approve of it.
Free candy!

Have a Happy Halloween!
