To celebrate or not to celebrate?

I try not to do more than 1 blog entry a day, so sorry for the over-indulgence, but I wanted to post this one today as well.
Tomorrow is Halloween. My friend, Sidney, and I were talking about whether or not, as Christians, we should celebrate it. Every year I struggle w/ whether or not I will dress up. This year I am considering dressing like Captain Kirk since I have an awesome gold Star Trek shirt. Yet I feel guilty doing so. It’s not like I’m worshipping Satan or saying He wins by dressing up, but still...
Sidney & I also discussed the fact that many churches have “Harvest” parties on Halloween. I think this is actually a good idea. It brings in children from the community into church where they can have a safe and spiritual night rather than a scary, secular one. My sister & her friends are doing a progressive dinner. I think this is another good idea b/c the kids still get to have a fun night and embrace their imaginations by wearing costumes (her kids will be characters from “The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe").
For those of you my age or older, you may remember the old song “Why should the devil have all the good music?” I think my ideas run along that same theory. Why shouldn’t Christian children be allowed to make themselves sick on too much sugar one night a year and have fun dressing up? As long as the parents are careful on what they celebrate. I like the “Harvest” party idea b/c the churches can incorporate giving thanks to God for farmers and fall and all that good stuff. I just hope that churches use the opportunity to witness to families & don’t just revolve the night simply around having fun. I hope they take full advantage of showing the participants the pure love of God. I say we take Halloween away from the dark side and turn it into a positive night! After all, it was done before and turned into “All Saints’ Evening” in either 609 or 1610 (I read 2 different articles w/ 2 different dates). It’s intention was to be a day of prayer & also to honor Christian saints. Let's return to those intenions & make it day to celebrate Christ & not Satan!
