Halloween History It's the same with Christians and Halloween. Carving pumpkins, setting up witch statues, wearing ghost costumes, going to people's doors to collect treats...all of these rituals are mere games as long as we don't make anything more out of them.

So the question arrives to all that read this message, What will the journey at your death be like?
Chose To Be Christians I Peter 1:6-7 states, "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of you faith being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto the praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ."
Christian Christmas I have personally experienced these feelings of depression and suicide in some of the past Christmas holidays.
