Christian's alternative to Halloween is 'Light Parties'

Halloween has been a difficult situation for some Christians always. Some of its themes and motifs seem to have some tension with Christian morals and religious doctrine. But does this mean that Christian children should ignore any time of celebration?

But according to the reports some churches they are trying to start a new holiday celebration known as “light parties.” It has many of the similar elements of Halloween: costumes, candy, and games, however, there are restrictions on scary costumes or anything too closely related to Halloween. The theme of the light is to stave off the “darkness” of Halloween.

Light parties present one of the three major ways Christians are uncomfortable with Halloween and do not allow their kids to celebrate. The first is to ignore the festivities entirely. The second is to use the themes of Halloween to scare children in “fear-inducing outreaches.” These will use hell, demons, and witches as a cautionary tale about a life of not following the beliefs of Christians. Light parties are alternative Halloween events just as pumpkin patch pickings, harvest festivities, and learning more about All-Saints Day.
