  I love Halloween, I always have =]
  
  I'm just not doing anything this year because I'm pregnant (so nobody will invite me to parties because I can't drink) and my boyfriend is working that night. I'm highly looking forward to taking my daughter out next year though :D

  That is ridiculous!!! I have never heard of that I heard say that halloween is devilish but I did not think nothing more than that. And I like the way you put it on how you feel about halloween that is my thoughts exactly. Just enjoy they grow up so quick.

  Well this is what wiki says about halloweens history
  
  
  Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain
  The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year". Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.

  For me I dont want my child to replicate an evil spirit! And the candy received in return for asking for it at a strangers door which we always teach our children to not talk to strangers and to never accept anything from strangers seems kind of hypocritical to me. Besides you never know whos door your at and what kind of person that is. I dont want to parade my kid around for all the weirdo's to see

  Kids in my neighborhood think they are entitled to get candy at every door and if I dont open mine they trash my yard. Its a privilage not a right to get candy from people and I think parents need to teach their kids respect. I personally dont celebrate halloween so i dont give out candy and JODI205 Is wrong its not about being cheap or not being allowed to participate when i was a kid is a personal belief

  I wonder how many of the parents who won't take their kids trick-or-treating today loved going when they were kids themselves.
