"Celebrating my son managing to partially wear the red dragon costume he fit inside of when he was 5."

Inquiring minds wonder how old he is now? 6? 18?

Wha about me?

I choose life and God’s Grace.

Ge has no given us a spirit if fear, nor irrationality.

I was at our local nursing home where my wife is

a resident.Imagine there were 200 or more great

couples who brought their kids trick or treating.

The staff brought sacks of treats for all patients

that were able to sit in the hallway.

It was the best Halloween I`ve ever had.

I never used to care for Halloween.It can be good.

I happen to think Halloween is one of the dumbest "holidays" in America, but it has nothing to do with what this guy writes.

I've always just assumed that the modern Halloween must have been invented by Marxists. There's just something idiotic about dressing your kids up and sending them around your neighborhood begging for crap that isn't any good for them anyway.

Halloween actually has its beginnings in the Catholic faith. To remember the lives of their departed saints, people were encouraged to dress up like them on religious holidays. Thus, costuming was born.

Serious rationalization, when in reality he just doesn’t like candy corn.

My kids didn't bring home any candy corn this year. I was disappointed.

Watch out when you give out sweets with peanuts in it, some children have severe allergic reactions to peanuts.

When you think about it, children can be allergic to almost ANYTHING you give out to them.

That's why you're better off giving out Barack Obama 2008 "Hope & Change" buttons. /sarcasm off, sort of/

He wrote the article the day after Halloween? It’s over. Time to move on.

I think this article gets published every year.

I know, I’ll make a list! Does anyone need 18 reasons not to celebrate Halloween? I only need one. The only reason to make a list is because for some reason stupid people read “list “ articles.

He has not given us a spirit if fear, nor irrationality.

There are a lot of horrible things going on in our reprobate society and this article touches on some.

Halloween did not cause that.

The nastier aspects of how Halloween is celebrated now came from the psychopathic society.

Stopped reading after the first reason. Even people in the early 20th century celebrated Halloween. This was back when people generally had morals. Halloween is just a fun little holiday like St. Patrick’s day.

Does the celebration of Halloween bring honor and glory to God?

I guess the devil made you do it.

Personally, I always found helping my wife out of her costume was the highlight of the holiday.
