How Should Christians Respond To Trick or Treaters?
By Anna Lowell
When I was growing up, my family did not participate in trick or treating.
One Halloween, when I was six years old, there was a knock on our front door. I opened it and was surprised to see a little girl, about my own age, dressed up in a costume. The little girl held out a bucket full of candy to me. I reached in, took a couple of pieces, thanked her politely, and closed the door. My mother came into the room just in time to return the candy to the sobbing little girl and explain to her irate mother that we don’t do “trick or treating” and that I didn’t mean to steal her candy.
The girl’s mother was not amused.
Some people have no sense of humor.
