No, we don’t trick or treat. We celebrate Freedom of Religion Day on October 31! We play a little game where they answer questions about things we’ve learned in school, at their own level, and they get candy every time they answer a question correctly. And then we do whatever the Spirit leads me to do. We had a great one last year. I had them watch the Peanuts Halloween special on the computer and then the next episode after that was about the Pilgrims and how they came here for Freedom of Religion! I didn’t know that episode was on there.
I don’t have a problem with dressing up or getting candy, but I do have a problem with glorifying evil and the devil. So we have fun at home and get some school done at the same time. The kids love it. We don’t dress up that day, but as you can see they have freedom to dress up whenever they want to. We’re big into freedom here!

Mother and Child
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
I used to LOVE dressing up….
Do your kids trick or treat? I know some people don’t believe in that.
Just wondering…..
