Re: Halloween,christmas,valentine
Excellent subject.
We have major debates about this amongst my siblings and more often than not we are divided on the issue of how religion plays a role in these occassions.
Do we celebrate them? If that means do I let the kids dress up and go trick-or-treating? Yes. I do. Until they are old enough to understand the relationship/difference between religion and traditions and customs.
Do I hand out candy to the kids that come by? Absolutely.
Do I do it with a smile and without judgement? Absolutely.
Do I let the older kids dress up to hand out candy since they are not going out? Yes....if they want to.
