How should Christian's approach Halloween: Here are the 5 ways I have seen and done Halloween during the years.

Participate - Just go with the flow

Redeem the day - Fall Festival, truck or treat, don't waste the day.

Ignore it - Turn the lights off

Oppose it -  It's the Occult, path to Satan

Evangelize the lost - Connect with the community, and tell the truth about Jesus, death, and the afterlife.
