Ghosts, vampires, zombies...what place do these have in our belief in life after death? And this isn't even taking into account the costumes, etc., just the whole concept of the holiday.

There is way too much "living dead" zombie and vampire stuff and that totally goes against the eternal life in Christ that we try to live as Christians.

My son doesn't like or know about superheroes since we don't have tv and I don't want my 5 yo looking like a hooker either. I've been joking that the name should be changed to Hookerween. Okay, okay, all joking aside, I'm thrilled that our parish is having an All Saints Day party Halloween night and the kids are looking forward to it.Little House On The Mesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696204879130901405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932568289336255559.post-63425261658587884252012-10-28T04:21:53.129-05:002012-10-28T04:21:53.129-05:00I so totally agree with this post.
