Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Who's Got The Pumpkin



Well, it's THAT day again. That witchy night when we all go Pagan.
Halloween is Christianity's attempt to absorb a Celtic Pagan ritual.
What's really funny about this that so many people around here seem
to decorate for Halloween like it's Christmas.

Being Lutheran I can understand all of the holy implications in
Halloween, All Souls Day, and All Saints Day. However, I draw the line
at treating Halloween as though it had the same significance as Christmas.
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Saviour of the World. Big Difference.

Anyway, my opinions seem to fall upon deaf ears and the little
hobgoblins are out in force.

Odd thing. The Police and Sherriff's department issued a curfew for all sex offenders ( regardless of whether or not they are a danger to children)
that states no sex offender can answer the door for a child or go outside
from 8pm
until 11pm. Oh well, maybe the children dressed up like minions of
hell will be safe.
