Many Christians are unsure what to do on October 31st, since it is Halloween. There are many different opinions about the holiday among Christians, but some (like my family) have decided that they would rather not participate in any way. If you’re a Christian who doesn’t celebrate Halloween, don’t worry, you are not alone!

Many Christian parents feel like they have to choose between celebrating with their children or teaching them the values of their faith. Maybe you’re worried that your children will feel left out.

  1. I feel Trunk or Treats might just be modified versions of Trick or Treats, which are definitely "celebrations" of Halloween. So to me, whether or not they're alternatives to Halloween is debatable. Just me?

  2. Thank you so much for this post. When I was young and my Mom became a Christian, we no longer celebrated Halloween. At the time that was strange & embarrassing to me and my younger brother, but today I'm thankful for her Godly choices. Jesus is Lord!

  3. We like to celebrate the Reformation since October 31 is also the date of when Martin Luther hung the 95 theses on the Wittenburg church doors.

  4. We haven’t celebrated Halloween in years! Traditionally we celebrate Reformation day instead by watching a Martin Luther themed movie or documentary with a bowl of candy! That has been our favorite for years!

  5. We didn't do Halloween when I was grewing up and we didn't with our own children. This year I learned about having a Light Party from livingourpriorities.com It's a pretty good idea.
