In the imaginary two-dimensional world of the false dichotomy, everything is either right or wrong. However, that world simply does not exist. Many things certainly are right or wrong. But, a lot of things are neutral and can be put to a good or bad use. The same is true of Halloween, the evening of all hallows or saints. We have a choice. So, the question, “Is Halloween Christian?” is erroneous. Halloween can be good and focused on Christian saints or it can be evil and focused on things that oppose Christianity, or it can be harmless fun, depending on how it is used. Some people celebrate evil, others mock evil and others celebrate saints living and dead. Probably most people are just having a little fun and not even thinking of God. We can make it a Christian celebration.
