It's always such a contraversey around here as to whether Christians celebrate Halloween or not. When I was little, Halloween was just about dressing up in a costume and going around getting candy. Then Mom would inspect it all and say what was her favorite and we'd drink hot cocoa. I think it's all in how you choose to celebrate it. We took the kids trick-or-treating and I haven't eaten their candy yet. A twix bar is calling my name, though. *smile*
