More on Halloween

Motte Brown writes an articulate response to Tim Challies' thoughts on Halloween. I do think Motte is on to something when he notes that the "social etiquette" of our day ought not to limit Christians:

"Just because Challies is constricted from being neighborly every other day of the year because of "social etiquette" doesn't mean everyone is. Besides, if we all based our decisions on the etiquette of our day then we would never participate in what some would consider to be the pinnacle of rudeness -- sharing the Gospel."

In fact, my wife was just telling me last night that she planned to bring cookies to our neighbors and to invite the other stay-at-home moms to a morning tea the following week.
