It's my personal opinion that no matter what the day, we should be celebrating Jesus' entire life. We should be worshiping God no matter what day it is, and we shouldn't place higher value over one day than another. And maybe rather than partying wildly, whether it's a Halloween party or a Christmas party, we should be praying for the people who are not as fortunate as we are? We're able to do these things because we have the resources to do so. We should be thanking God for those resources. We should be praying for the people who don't have families or homes, people who can't find jobs, or things like that. We are FORTUNATE. Very fortunate. We should be praying for God's blessings upon us. And we should also be praying that on, say, Halloween, that no one will be hurt, killed, kidnapped or anything like that. We should be praying on and around Christmas time that shoppers aren't killed in ridiculous rampages through the markets, trying to get what they need, or that they won't be robbed or anything like that. That there aren't enormous accidents when people are going to and from their homes to where they're going to be spending Christmas.
It just saddens me that so many people are more worried about setting up parties, sending out invitations, and making gobs of food to be wasted when it isn't eaten rather than thinking of the people who can't have what we have.
