Holidays - October 2006

In the book of Jeremiah, God specifically tells his people to avoid all aspects of Yule, the decorated tree is mentioned in detail, as it is pagan and thus evil. The majority of modern Christians profess to follow everything in the Bible as what they are to follow as well. So based on that, why do Christians have a Christmas tree if they know if it is pagan? Or do they even realize that is the case? Why if it was not acceptable back then is it perfectly fine today? God himself also said that he does not change ever so that would mean that either he wasn't telling the truth when he ordered his people to avoid those, or Christians have misinterpreted the Bible.

who agrees with me that kids should ask how santa is and how are his reindeer and things instead of just asking for toys right away?

I am so sick and tired of seeing stuff that says proven facts are wrong. Yes, people, I'm talking about Halloween.

Here is the TRUE history of Halloween.

The festival of Halloween as we celebrate it today is an interesting juxtaposition of a Christian and a pagan festival.

Searching for the history & origin of this festival takes us back to the 5th. century B.C. in Celtic Ireland. In those days, the year ended with the end of summer which officially used to end on 31st.October. This day was called Samhain.

The Celts had a strong belief in the afterlife and they believed that the spirits of those who died in the preceding year came back on this day to possess the living bodies for the next year. This was the only hope of the spirits for afterlife. But obviously those who were living did not want to be possessed.

I'd like your opinion on this....I've seen kids break down after finding out Father Christmas isn't real and my question is this...why would we tell a lie to our children that will break their hearts when they discover it isn't true? We will teach her not to tell other children, but we will be teaching her that Father Christmas is not real. Surely they don't need to believe in him to have a good Christmas??

We want a costume that is so wrong, so taboo that it will offend half the people that see it, while making the other half laugh hysterically. For example, I know of someone in a wheelchair that dressed up as Superman with a tube in his mouth (it was for alcohol). Also, I had a friend that dressed up with his buddy as the Baylor basketball players in the murder scandal. Please help, we want the best costume ever. Something like Mark Foley and his page...something like that.

I heard that it is a manner that kids can only knock on other people's doors on Haloween if the doors or the yard have some Haloween decorations.

Is that true?

If someone does not want kids to come to the house, then, what does he needs to do?

Do people normally know about this manner?

Thanks.
