I've been looking for a different way to acknowledge Trick-or-Treat.  Here's one thing I found:

** Handing out a verse or a track with a piece of candy on Halloween night.

I found this at

Path Through  the Narrow Gate

What should Christians do about Halloween?

This is exactly how I feel!  About Halloween.  About Easter eggs & symbols.  About the Christmas tree & decorations.

Quoted text from Intentional By Grace:

"What are Christians supposed to do with Halloween, a holiday that celebrates death, fear, darkness, witches, and demons? A day that seems to be becoming increasingly evil in focus?

Should we celebrate Halloween in the same way as our non-Christian neighbors?

Should we turn off our lights on October 31st and huddle in the basement, hoping that people will think that we are not home?

Should we write condemning Facebook posts about the evils of Halloween in an attempt to inform the consciences of the “worldly” Christians around us?

Is handing a piece of candy to a four-year-old neighbor boy dressed up as Captain America really a sin?

Where should Christians draw the line?

I do not want to encourage any Christian to violate his conscience in the matter of Halloween. Nor do I want to guilt-trip any Christian into feeling that it is her duty to witness on Halloween. I am merely asking: Could it be that we Christians, as a whole group, are so busy arguing over the technicalities of Halloween that we are missing a beautiful opportunity to share the gospel?"

She says, "Paul did an amazing thing. He used a pagan altar with the inscription “To An Unknown God” as an object lesson to start telling the people about the One True God Who alone deserved their worship."

This is what I said in a book about Christmas I'm getting ready to publish:

Imagine that…. St. Paul used a pagan religious idol to preach about the Jewish Messiah who is the Christian Savior!
