Halloween is comming soon
Written by Jack on October 28, 2007 – 1:50 pmSo Halloween is just around the corner. Our son Matt is now 18 and long past dressing up and going out to trick or treat but we still try to have a bit of fun. We try to make our house fun for the kids that come around, hell it is only one time a year a kid can actually “take candy from a stranger” with out being at risk.
So we open our garage, put in a fog machine, lots of decorations and black lights and some spooky sounds on a CD plays. I bring out my dog (Husky the kids all call him a wolf) and we just have a blast giving out candy. Our place isn’t where you get one tiny piece either we give each kiddo a big hand full.
So how do you celebrate Halloween? How do you make is special for the kids in your neighborhood.

Jack,
It is very cool how you guys make it fun for the kids. We do what we can find time to do, hang up lights in the trees, decorate and make sure we have a lot of candy. Halloween is fun and you’re right it only comes once a year.

Honestly I think it should be banned. Halloween is about as anti God a holiday that could possibly exist.
Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death.
Nice stuff to “celebrate with kids”
