Yeah, we were trying to start a tradition of having a game night hiding out in our basement with other friends who don't do Halloween either, but kids still came a-knockin'...this year we're getting out of the house and are going to take the kids to a movie. We try and keep fun celebrations too...we exchange gifts at Hanukkah because that is just a fun holiday holiday remembering an historical event, sort of like 4th of July. Since pretty much all of the Christian holidays have some sort of paganism involved, we try and stay away from them as much as possible too.Trishiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859280858825769027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967585787483976018.post-75315866186675611032010-10-30T11:01:53.957-07:002010-10-30T11:01:53.957-07:00I love your blog!!

I always find it interesting that people don't stop and question why they celebrate halloween and other holidays since they all come from some kind of pagan origin. It's hard to mix christianity and paganism, at least it is for me. But then I feel that it is also important as parents to come up with other fun things to do instead. For example, we have a tradition of getting pizza and going bowling with friends to get out of the house on halloween and since we don't celebrate christmas either, we make our anniversary like xmas with tons of presents for everyone. It's very important to our family to live according to bible standards and holidays are not included in that.Becky Eckenfelsnoreply@blogger.com
