Christian Halloween
I found these great Halloween Tracts (this site, too) for sale tonight while searching the internet for Christian Halloween tracts. Here are some free printable Christian tracts, but they don’t have a Halloween theme.Halloween is always a tough holiday for me. I mean, sometimes I feel the tug to participate. When I do, I remember that Satan loves to tug at my heart for many things (drinking, drugs, defy my husband, yell at my kids, swear…) Before I was a Christian, I went all out with decorations (I mean…ALL out…I loved Halloween intensely), costumes, parties, you name it.
I truly believe that it isn’t right for me to participate in it anymore, at least not the way I used to. After reading information on the origins of Halloween, and since it tends to glorify evil spirits, I knew that it wasn’t right for me anymore.
However, if I lived in a neighborhood that had trick or treaters (we don’t…its small and folks around here take their children elsewhere), I would want to hand out Christian tracts that were designated for Halloween.
What we do on Halloween is an event called Skate for the Light Night. It is a roller skating event at a roller rink near us in Topsham, Maine.. It’s a blast! My kids get to skate around for about 2 hours while listening to great Christian music, CDs and DVDs are given out, and we eat a bunch of junk food. This year I’m taking my 12, 9, and 6 year olds. My 3 and 1 year olds are staying home with daddy. :o)
Non-believers have no idea why Halloween would be considered wrong or bad, I suppose. Well, maybe deep down they would feel a twinge of trouble since it is very frightening at times. If we just shut out our light and ignore the trick or treaters, then won’t we be looked at as weird mean neighbors? At least if we hand out tracts, we’re just looked at as weird neighbors. Lol!
More Christian Halloween tracts (this one is pretty scary)…this one isn’t as scary (these are GREAT!) Those only cost .15 per pack. I’m going to order some to hand out at my church. I’m sure there are plenty of families that would be willing to give these out to trick or treaters.

After I became a Christian we quit doing Halloween for the most part. Before I started homeschooling, it was a struggle with the schools and students to not participate - boy were my kids ostracized.
I’m glad your family has the Skate program. I feel sometimes we let Halloween overshadow the fall fun - one of my favorite memories as a kid was our fall festival at school - didn’t have much to do with Halloween, but it was a great deal of fun.
I’ve seen those tracts before - are they Chicks? Great resource and a great idea to pass them out during trick-or-treating. (Thankfully, we live in the boonies, no kids, and our own kids are now grown, so we can just ignore the day!
