There's the fear that if children play dress up as witches, ghosts and other such fantasy characters of the "dark side" they will actually be seduced by evil.
Many parents are torn between wanting their children to have a fun and safe celebration, and the fear of what they perceive as evil about the holiday---after all, its origins are from a pagan harvest festival.
On All Saints Day, which is the day following Halloween and a Catholic feast day, families can celebrate all of the saints in our lives and those who have come before.
These are the people who have brought the light of Christ into the "darkness" of our world.

Before children begin trick-or-treating, tell them you will check their treats to make sure they re safe before they eat any.
Make sure they understand the importance of a safety check.
Only go to homes that are well-lit.
Use a glow stick or small flashlight inside your jack-o -lantern instead of a candle.

Keeping Your Pets Safe on Halloween
Please follow these tips, and share them with others, to help keep all pets safe this Halloween.
A pet that's out at night with trick-or-treaters might get spooked by their excited voices and costumes, which could cause it to run off and get lost.
If you have a black cat, you should be especially careful about keeping it indoors on Halloween.
Keeping your dog in a secluded area of the house will help it stay calm and prevent it from growling or possibly biting your visiting ghouls and goblins.
If you're considering giving someone a black cat to celebrate Halloween, please either give them a stuffed animal or a gift certificate to the Humane Society, instead.

Then the Druids (Celtic priests) met on hilltops in the dark oak forests (they viewed oak trees as sacred), and built huge sacred bonfires to frighten away evil spirits and to honor the sun god.
All Saints' Day became known as All Hallows Day, while October 31 became All Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.
We have established that Halloween originated with the Celts, who worshipped nature---the creation---rather than the one true God, who created nature and everything in it.
Celts believed that bad spirits would take the form of cats Costumes: Celts (and other Europeans) wore masks when they left their homes after dark to avoid being recognized by ghosts who might mistake them for fellow spirits.
Catholics dressed up as saints, angels and devils during Hallowmas.
edenup6602 Your CNA Negotiating Team wants to let you know that the Sutter Eden Negotiating Management Team flew in on broom-sticks at the last session (June 4th), claiming that Sutter Eden is under no obligation to negotiate with their RNs.
The real objective of this contrived legal spin is that when all six Sutter facilities are poised to win improved retirement, wages and staffing language, Sutter Eden will be spooking RNs with tales of "illegal demands," or "illegal strike activity," or some such.
Your involvement is needed---be sure to help get everyone signed up on the Petitions demanding a decent retirement plan, retiree health, staffing ratios, and wage increases.
