Have you ever asked yourself what's the fuss about Halloween?
Scripture declares in Deuteronomy 7:26 "And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it."
Although Halloween is a religious day, it is not a Christian day. The origin of Halloween is the Celtic festival of Samhain, lord of death and evil spirits. Long before Christ (over 2,000 years ago), Druids in Britain, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, and other Celtic countries observed the end of summer by making sacrifices to Samhain.
The Celts considered November 1 as being the day of death because the leaves were falling. They believed that Muck Olla, their sun god, was losing strength and Samhain, lord of death, was overpowering him. Further, they believed that on October 31, Samhain assembled the spirits of all who had died during the previous year.
Druid priests would lead the people in diabolical worship ceremonies in which horses, cats, black sheep, oxen, human beings and other offerings were rounded up, stuffed into wicker cages and burned to death. This was done to appease Samhain and keep spirits from harming them, for it was believed at this time that all of the wandering spirits would get hungry. If you set out a treat for them, they would not trick you or curse you. Hence we have the origin of trick or treat.
Tom Sanuinet, former high priest of Wicca, had this to say about Halloween: "Trick or treat is a reenactment of Druid practices. The candy has replaced human sacrifices of old, but it is still an appeasement of those deceptive evil spirits. The traditional response to those who do not treat is to have a trick played on them. Giving Halloween candy is symbolic of a sacrifice to false gods. You are participating in idolatry."
When you begin to see the spiritual implications associated with celebrating Halloween, my prayer is that you decide that it is not pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Instead of celebrating Halloween, you can celebrate your children every October 31. Turn off you porch light (a signal to others that you are not participating in the festivities), take your children to their favorite restaurant, then to their favorite entertainment, and then end the evening by taking them to the candy aisle of the local grocery store and let them fill a bag with the candy of their choice. our children will be thrilled!
As parents, you are preventing your children from enjoying Halloween; you are celebrating them! And there is no need to worry about razor blades or needles in their candy.
In recent years, many local churches have begun offering Halloween alternatives such as, harvest festivals, prayer vigils, and glory gatherings where all references to Halloween are removed and instead wholesome games are played, Christian songs are sung and Christian videos are shown. Others are using Halloween as a night to pass out gospel literature.
Whatever you choose to do, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). 
I Remain,
Yours for Kingdom Truth and Understanding (Proverbs 4:7),
