Now that I have a toddler, it is more complicated. We are still working on figuring out what we feel is appropriate for our family. We do have a 'nothing evil/creepy/scary' rule for decorations and costumes, and as of yet have not taken our son trick-or-treating, but we do enjoy costume parties and will give candy to those who come to our house.Kourtneyhttp://deserethome.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015218273611452112.post-73589095096437121602011-10-31T14:09:53.780+01:002011-10-31T14:09:53.780+01:00I agree wholeheartedly with your position---and ha...I agree wholeheartedly with your position---and have maintained our stance that we should not imitate evil or invite it into our home for the sake of a 'great candy hunt' since the early days. Now that our children are older we continue to carefully discuss it with others when asked, but maintain our ground. Just the past weekend, I was reminded by another adult how the radar is turned off for so many and allow their children to participate in activities otherwise deemed off limits. Stand your ground, as your children age it will bring you comfort when their choices without you follow what you've taught them now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015218273611452112.post-29679178106259739612010-11-06T19:44:21.324+01:002010-11-06T19:44:21.324+01:00Hi Kelli,

She is very sensitive to evil and does the same as them. It is very encouraging.
