Hi Kerrie,
I happened to see your article in NJ Family magazine. Cute. However, as a mother of 3 young boys, and a new Catholic who "transfered" to the Catholic faith this past Easter, I realize that you fail (big-time) to see the danger in what you term as cute little Halloween celebrations. How unfortunate and how discouraging. Let me tell you whats "out" Christmas! Ok? Christmas is out... entirely! and while it might be easy (as well as un-empathetic)for you to say " Oh, keep Jane home from school if you don't want your child to dress up or participate in Halloween festivities (which is easy to say if your homeschooling your kids) and your child is not in the public school. From one one Catholic woman to the other, what you are unfortunately failing to see is that Halloween has taken over for Christmas.Completely!! Witches, ghosts and Demons (cute, huh?) are the mainstream in schools now. Trust me... I know. If you feel it's fine to give Satan a foothold on your children by enticing them with the "sweetness" of Halloween and some lame excuse to be "socializing" you are decieved (big time) But do me a favor, OK? Call me in a few years... maybe five or ten and tell me how your kids are doing with all the enticing evil infuences in the real world that your children deem as harmless and cute because their Mom was unable(or unwilling) to understand the power of darkness. Halloween is a reason to celebrate? NO thanks! I'll be celebrating the birthday of a Saviour who came to earth as a baby to save the human race... Oh, but I forgot... babies aren't celebrated anymore are they? Too controversial. Only witches an demons. What a shame!
