All Hallow's Eve Eve

Well, tomorrow is Halloween. And as my cousin pointed out on her blog recently, she doesn't like the scary stuff. I totally agree! I don't like all that junk either. I have a hard time putting together the fun dress-up-and -get-candy holiday and the evil, weird creatures, demons and witches. I grew up enjoying the holiday and even having a skeleton with a mustache on the door when we came in. I don't remember feeling yucky about it until I learned more about horror movies (which I've never been able to stomach nor desired to endure) and the disappearances of young women and occultic rituals. Today I read this great article by Hank Hanegraaff that really put in perspective for me. I loved his thoughts on it...and I was expecting it to be way one side or the other, but it really was cool.
