My divisional commander said today that halloween is one of his favorite holidays. It is a time when there are no financial pressures of gift buying. It is a time when you don't have to prepare a huge meal. You can just have fun.
I have one thing to add to this...it is a time when you get to meet your neighborhood. You buy some candy and when the parents and the kids come by you exchange pleasantries...with folks you may never have met before.
Now I know many Christians have a problem with halloween. And I am not trying to make a case for or against halloween by this journal. But is it a shame that the most "pagan" holiday has more to do with loving your neighbors than any of the others?
