Should Christians Celebrate Halloween? > Amazing Facts > Inside Report

Please check all that apply. This year for Halloween, I'll probably:
1) Dress the little ones up in costumes and escort them around our neighborhood to collect candy.
2) Check out the local haunted house.
3) Get together with some buddies to watch a scary movie.
4) Dress up in a devil suit and scare the neighborhood kids that knock on the front door.
5) Turn off the porch light and hope nobody finds me eating the three bags of Snickers bars I bought for trick-or-treaters.

Most people see nothing wrong with the activities listed above. They consider Halloween festivities to be a harmless way for their children to have an evening of "fantasy and fun."

But does this standard hold true for Christians? Is dressing up like ghosts, goblins, and witches really "no big deal"? Or is it glorifying and empowering Satan?
