You therefore need to ask yourself what is right with celebrating Halloween!
If we are celebrating because we want to have a masquerade party, we can make one any other day of the year.
If we are celebrating because we want to celebrate Halloween, we are in a sense celebrating a pagan holiday whether we know/will it or not.
If you show up at a rally, it doesn’t really matter if you showed up to buy a snow cone or to practice for next month’s marathon. Your presence there is taken as a sign of support for that rally.
The same is true when you go to a Halloween party. In essence you are celebrating Halloween: a pagan holiday, in date, name, and observance.
