Halloween is a very fun holiday. You get to dress up and play like you are something you are not. Since I accepted Christ into my life, I've wondered about some of the ideas behind Halloween. I've decided that it is a fun family time, as long as you keep it a celebration of those that have passed and not of witchcraft and pagan values. For most, it is just a fun family time, it is just a few that can taint the otherwise enjoyable holiday.
Halloween costumes are a lot of fun and something I want to be able to enjoy with my family. We usually don't dress up, but we dress up Emma. I am trying to talk Elizabeth into dressing up this year. She has suggested dressing the dog up, so I think I can talk her into dressing up too. Now that I'm a teacher, I think I should at least dress up for my students.
Emma wants to be Cinderella for Halloween. She loves Cinderella. Elizabeth wants to dress Marley up as a clown. Elizabeth suggested that I should be Emma's Prince Charming. She says "If I dress up, I would want to be the fairy godmother, but we need to do costumes, and that is not easy."
This is true. Dressing up can be a lot of fun though. We just need to plan exactly what it is we want and then go find it. If you like, you can go to a costume store, and they may have exactly what you want. You can also look at thrift stores and even just around the house for what you want.
