Christian Alternatives to Halloween

by Mary Fairchild

Christian Alternatives to Halloween - Introduction

Many Christians choose not to observe Halloween. As one of the most popular Holidays in our culture - for some more celebrated than Christmas - it can present a challenge for Christian families, especially when children are involved. Though I won't discuss all the "whys" and "why nots," I will offer some fun and practical alternatives to enjoy this year with your family.

Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of Halloween, you can turn the holiday into a positive, relationship-building tradition for your family. These ideas offer alternatives to the customary Halloween activities. They are simple suggestions to start you thinking and planning. Add your own creativity and there's no limit to the possibilities for family fun!
