i love halloween parties

it's my favorite holiday and my step son's birthday! i love halloween and the month of october... i am obsessed with horror movies, i love everything horror. i love being able to see kids trick or treating and seeing their creative costumes, giving kids candy and i always remember trick or treating myself and how much fun i had.

there are a lot of christians/ religious people who disagree with the holiday and i understand why they do. they do not believe in it and they don't agree that it came from a pagan holiday... however, what they don't realize is that the christmas tree was actually stolen from a pagan holiday for christmas and that easter also relates back to a female goddess in which rabbits, eggs and fertility were the actual focus. not a lot of people look into the meanings and reasonings behind the holidays they celebrate and it is sad that so many people see halloween as a bad holiday, an evil holiday. it is a day to have fun, let your kids dress up. if you want to talk to them about what it was and why it is... that's your decision but i see nothing wrong with taking your kids door to door, letting them dress up and getting them free candy. just limit their candy intake for the next week... haha
