I must speak in favor of not celebrating halloween.  I can honestly say this is the first year we will not be handing out candy.  The Lord did not deal with me about this until this year, so I can understand why some see no harm in celebrating "just without the evil edge to it".  But we each must be accountable to what has been spoken to us by the Holy Spirit, and G-d has truly convicted me of not participating in the traditions of men this year.  Our church is having their annual Hallelujah Harvest where we decorate our trunks and give out candy to local children.  It is not actually on halloween this year.  The ONLY reason I  participating is because I always have a Biblical theme to my trunk.  This year it will be "as in the days of Noah etc." - something I think needs to be stressed tremendously at this time.  I am not even decorating with pumpkins on my porch this year.  My children are dressing according to our theme and helping me with our trunk, as they usually do.  If it were not called the Hallelujah Harvest, I would not feel so comfortable.  As a newbie at celebrating G-d's feasts, it seems the fall ones are about celebrating the harvest.  
 
In regards to the fellow who responded that his sons are pastors and celebrate halloween, just know that our pastors are our leaders and are accountable for how they lead the sheep.  I can attest, though, that everyone is not in the same place spiritually at the same time.  G-d deals with us in each are of our life, it seems, when we are most ready to hear it.
 
No hard feelings, just conviction to share at the expense of ruffling feathers,
