Yeah, I know I'm rather late with this one:) Still a good article and sums up my point of view (and yes, we do celebrate it, in a way)
How is the holiday being used in your area? Does the local high school have a popular Wiccan teacher who uses the holiday as an opportunity to promote her religion? When you think on the Halloweens of the past few years, do you primarily remember the vandalism? Are mystic religions that incorporate Halloween into their own spirituality common in your community? In such cases, Christians would be well advised to not take part in the festivities. On the other hand, if the celebration is primarily about carving silly faces in pumpkins, soliciting treats from neighbors, and dressing up as Luigi rather than Lucifer, it’s probably ok.
