    ...so what about Easter's origins and Christmas's origins? Not the Christian versions... but the ones that were celebrated before the Christians came along? The Christians celebrated their version on those days specifically for the purpose of reaching the people who celebrated pagan holidays on those days.

    Meh, I use Halloween for what the Lord can use it for: an opportunity to reach people. :) And... I have fun while doing so. So I don't honor anything or anyone else but the Lord by playing "dress up". :)

    That said, you're not wrong for your decision. You simply choose to handle the situation differently. :thumbleft It's all good.

    Well, today is 'All Hallows' / 'All Saints' day.

    This is a day for thinking about and remembering "all men of good will".

    I will be thinking of Mother Teresa

    ...and one my Grandads who served in the RAF and died a few years after.
