Halloween

Nate is doing 100% better now, and all of my editing is done as of today--two great feelings.

Although this is Nate's first Halloween, we aren't "doing" anything for it. I didn't buy or make him a costume, and in fact, I haven't even bought any candy (sorry, trick-or-treaters). Having children makes you think about how your family is going to celebrate certain holidays (if at all). I am not a big fan of Halloween. What does it celebrate, really? I think it is a celebration of evil, or at least of fear, and I find knocking on a stranger's door demanding candy to be rude, tradition or not. How, as Christians, do we allow our children to have fun but not participate in traditions we find questionable--without sheltering them too much?
