I am going to say this because I know there is a lot of misconceptions but Christians are not forbidden from celebrating Halloween. It is a secular holiday that comes from Ireland celebrating the eve of All Saints' Day. Most of the stuff you hear about Halloween being a Pagan holiday or evil stems from anti-Irish/anti-Catholic sentiment when the Irish immigrated to the US. It's be co-oped as Samhain by many Neo-Pagans since it shares some surface level similarities coming from the same culture, but Samhain's dating is based on a lunar calender date that is normally past October 31 and it rarely ever falls on October 31st.

Yeah, it's a really unfortunate misconception too. When I was little some of my friends' parents wouldn't let them celebrate Halloween because they thought it was 'of the Devil' or something. I always felt so bad for them- even though they weren't allowed to go out, their parents made them hand out candy to trick-or-treaters anyway! My sister and I were really lucky, our parents (who are also Christians) like Halloween. They've always let us have fun with it.


My boyfriends family stays at home and prays all night..I told him he's coming trick-or-treating with me this year haha he said he's gonna dress up like a priest, i told him that if he does that he at least has to put some gore on and be like a zombie preist or something! im going as- O.O shoot idk what im going as this year, any ideas?

They pray the whole time?
Yeah, sounds like your boyfriend could use a real Halloween. 3nodding
