| "Halloween is just little kids dressing up. They're just having
fun and don't know the difference between good and evil. I dressed up in costumes growing up and trick-or-treated house to house too. For those that don't celebrate, I do support them because everyone is entitled to what they believe. It is their freedom of speech and opinion." |
"Well, maybe those people are too religious. It's just something
for entertainment and a fun day to dress up. I trick-or-treated growing
up. I take my kids trick-or-treating. One year they had a Halloween birthday
party. I take them to Halloween events such as Spooktacular. I go to night
school and this year I have classes on Halloween night, but I'm going
to still try to find someone else to take them." |
"There have been people at the San Antonio church-- a substitute
teacher-- telling children not to celebrate Halloween because it is evil
and celebrates the devil. I believe it's not necessarily for evil nowadays.
It's a holiday where kids dress up to be what they want to be-- things
they fantasize about. I always dressed up like superheroes and trick-or-treated.
It’s their opinion, but they shouldn't force it on other people."

"It is a pagan holiday, but I think too much has been read into
it. I think we can focus on the positives and kind of disregard whatever
pagan beliefs are behind it. It's 2006! I grew up in a pretty religious
house and we didn't practice trick-or-treating or really get involved
with Halloween activities. There is nothing wrong with dressing up one
day out of the year and getting candy." |
