Dont understand why its so wrong not to celebrate Halloween?

I do NOT do halloween. I believe the bible teaches us to obstain from evil...how evil is Halloween? google it and find out where it originated! I can not stand by and tell my kids its all in fun when its really a celebration night for the devil! I will not apologize for my beliefs or how I am raising my children. I hate it that it bothers some people so bad that I do not allow my kids to dress up and run around getting candy w/ a bunch of wickedness going on. I hate that I have to explain to family members the WRONG in halloween..when it should be apparent in the decorations used! I mean really do you think skeletons, devils, spiders, etc is something that you want to use to make kids feel GOOD? I am just tired of being the odd ball out when it comes to standing up for what is right for my kids! but that is okay b/c the bible tells us that the Lord wants his children to be seperate from the world! Oh and not to mention what he says about witches and witchcraft... so I have no desire to expose my children to this! I am doing what I feel is right in Gods eyes not peoples.
No we do NOT carve a pumpkin b/c we have no spirits we need to hide from! No we do not dressup and go trickortreating or do halloween parties...that would be saying its okay! HOWEVER....we do have a function at our church that is fun for kids that occurs around the last wkend of October. It is not to take the place of halloween but to give our kids something to do. It is a FALL celebration not a Halloween celebration! we have a chili/cake contest..we let the kids dress up as bible characters ONLY and we get to make a game out of it guessing who they are! and we do have a hayride! nothing haunted about it~If you want to THINK we are still celebrating halloween, that is your choice. We do not mention any hauntings or scary things..and we are not up to any mischief~which is what halloween is all about! I am just discouraged by people especially "christians" who think we should just give in and go with the flow of what everyone else is doing..its not doing any harm? how do you know this? I would rather be safe than sorry..and my bible still says to obstain from ANY APPEARANCE OF EVIL!
Oh...and the mean momma that I am ...we dont do Santa either! but that is for another post!

Dont know where to begin..

Its late but I have been putting this off and putting this off...so I went on and signed up for blogging...dont know much about it but thought it would be a cool way for familyand friends to keep up with what is going on w/ us!! I am entering this as a test of sorts...just to see how it all comes out. I will start stories on our crazy family later...when Im not so tired! :o)
