Halloween logic

Halloween has become a major holiday in the US. Just another day to party.
Parent ask how should I handle my child?
Well, when I was a kid, it was about getting scared, trick or treating, and dressing up.
It also had facets of hay rides, bobbing for apples, etc.
Never, ever, ever did I ever think this was some occult thing.
It never was, and it never should be.
It has changed for some people. Halloween was never a time for such
nonsense. People have tried to turn it into that. Just like Christmas.
The truth is, that neither were anything like a pagan activity.
It was not some evil celebration by witches and others.
It was a day to celebrate, remember, or honor the dead. Period.
But they have been turned by some people into some pagan time
of rituals. Only in recent times has it been filled with ghosts and goblins.

In short, let your kid have fun! Other thoughts will not even come
to their little minds.

However, you are the parent. Make your choices and make them stick.
Explain why you disagree with Halloween and come up with an alternative!
Your child is only a child once. If you let the times slip by, you will regret
it later. You will be very sad later in life, when you think about how you
did not experience the magic of childhood! Bring the magic back! The real
magic, that is! And there is a magic of childhood.

Some of the best memories I have as a child is
trick or treating and going to the school and church carnivals.

Society wants your kid to grow up way too fast.

Let 'em be kids!
