When it comes to most American holidays, Christians have the opportunity to emphasize the more religious aspects of the season or ignore the festivities altogether. For instance, on the 4th of July we are thankful not only for the people who came before us to create the country but also to God for blessing us with the freedoms that we have. Other holidays, like Flag Day, aren’t taken seriously enough for actual celebration (our apologies to any Flag Day fans). Halloween is in a separate category, though. Even if you strip away any ancient beliefs about the holiday, it is still at its core a day about scaring people, dressing in the newest “sexy” costumes, and engaging in debaucherous activity.

Fictional stories are a great way to pass the time, but they can also teach us something new about God or life that we hadn’t imagined. Jesus did teach in parables after all.
