Some of my Christian friends celebrate Halloween. Others, like us, do not. I believe the most appropriate Christian response to Halloween is to study the matter for yourself and follow the convictions of your own heart. Let others do the same without condemnation. I have had several people ask why we chose to stop celebrating. The answer is simple. After much research and prayer, we felt the Holy Spirit lead us away from it totally. Deut. 18:10-12 tells us to stay away from sorcery and witchcraft. We could not find a way for our family to partially celebrate halloween yet avoid these evil aspects of the holiday. We spent two years fighting the Holy Spirit's leading before we followed.
This link contains some of the information that I found in my research. We followed the convictions of our own hearts. Please don't feel like we are judging you if your heart leads you a different direction than ours did. Blessings. :)
