Happy Halloween!

I don't have a problem with Halloween, personally. When I was a kid, I loved to dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. Tonight, I will hand out Tootsie-Roll Pops to the trick-or-treaters. I even carved a pumpkin this year. Why? Because it's fun, and jack-o-lanterns look cool.

I understand that some have reservations about Halloween. So, why not celebrate Reformation Day instead?

One more fun Halloween link: The Worst Halloween Costumes of All Time. You know, I think I actually remember some of these. And no, I did NOT dress up as any of them! (Via Daimnation.)

Update: Joshua Claybourn posts on the history of Halloween.

Update 2: Havdala at Doves and Pomegranates has a very interesting post about ancient Celtic culture and Halloween.
