Extractions: Site Index By Rob Elder Ghosts dance, witches fly, skeletons dangle. Soon packs of costumed children will be ringing doorbells, crying "Trick or treat!" Now's the time for parents to ask themselves whether their kids are going to celebrate Halloween in an ethical way. This is not the same thing as arguing about Halloween's history. Undoubtedly the origins are both pagan and Christian. If your faith causes you to disapprove of the pagan overtones, that's a matter of religion. My concern is with the ethics of how we celebrate America's second most commercialized date, on which we spend $6.9 billion a year, at least some of it promoting greed and vandalism. Obviously this enriches manufacturers of decorations, costumes and candy, as well, I suspect, as dentists. At its best, Halloween gives small children the spooky thrill of prowling their neighborhoods on a chilly night, dressed as everything from goblins to fairy princesses, ideally accompanied by their parents. But it's not always so safe or sanitized. Some parents don't go along. Some trick-or-treaters are not small children. Some "tricks" are outright vandalism. Some kids end the evening with bad dreams and stomach aches.

ALL ABOUT READING Shop by Age Birth-2 Specialty Shops Parent and Child Expert Picks See all Brands Neurosmith Fisher Price See all Learn It See all Shop by Department Books Software Enjoy a Sweeter (and Healthier) Halloween By Maureen P. Hegarty Seven year-old Jack is ready for Halloween. He's had his Spider-Man costume picked out since July, and at least once a week he gives his mother a rundown of the candy he must have for his Halloween party. "Mouth-foaming gumballs are high on the list," says Jack's mother, Barbara, who lives in suburban New Jersey. She guarantees that Snickers, jelly pops, and anything that "turns your mouth blue" would make her three sons happy too. Barbara doesn't approve of too much candy, but Jack and his brothers, Conner, age 12, and Matt, 10, are healthy, active kids, so she feels that occasional sweets are okay. Registered dietician and certified nutritionist Marni Schefter agrees. Schefter insists that depriving children of candy will not help protect them from health risks related to a poor diet. " The key is to teach moderation ," says Schefter. How do you keep Halloween sweet without encouraging unhealthy eating habits? A combination of creativity and planning may go a long way to helping you strike a balance.

It's "Halloween"one of the strangest days of the year. History provides the answers. Though it was the Roman Catholic Church who designated the October 31st date as All Hallows Eve, or "eve of the holy ones" day, in prelude to their November 1st All Saints' Day, it was earlier pagan peoples who gave the annual holiday the sinister meaning and traditions it still holds. "The American celebration rests upon Scottish and Irish folk customs which can be traced in direct line from pre-Christian times. Although Halloween has become a night of rollicking fun, superstitious spells, and eerie games which people take only half seriously, its beginnings were quite otherwise. The earliest Halloween celebrations were held by the Druids in honor of Samhain, lord of the dead, whose festival fell on November 1st."
KEEPING THE TREAT IN YOUR CHILD'S HALLOWEEN halloween is coming. While kids are thinking about their costumes and the piles of candy teach children to walk and not to run, while trickor-treating. http://www.umm.edu/news/releases/halloween.html
Extractions: Originally Released: October, 1999 Halloween is coming. While kids are thinking about their costumes and the piles of candy, parents need to think about the possible dangers their children could face during the frantic trick-or-treat festivities. "Halloween can be scary in more ways than the traditional sense. For kids, Halloween is one of the most dangerous nights of the year because of the many injuries that occur," says Karen Hardingham, R.N., program coordinator for Baltimore SAFE KIDS Coalition and nurse at the University of Maryland Hospital for Children. "Most parents worry about candy tampering. They're not always aware that pedestrian injuries, burns, and falls account for the majority of the injuries on Halloween," adds Hardingham. According to Hardingham, many of the risks children face can be avoided if parents follow a few simple safety tips and take time to talk to their children about safety before trick-or-treating. To help make Halloween safe for every child, the Baltimore SAFE KIDS Coalition at the University of Maryland Hospital for Children recommend that parents take the following precautions:

Each year editorials in magazines and newspapers and on television warn of dangers to children. And each year more communities "ban" Halloween. So what? Who needs it? What is Halloween anyway? It's just an excuse for big kids to make trouble, little kids to eat too much candy, and candy companies to peddle their wares. Bah, goblin-bug! Or so I thought until, despite all the warnings, I took my three children out last Halloween. Nine-year-old Bobby was the boldest. Seven-year-old Heather held back and was reluctant to approach houses of near neighbors she didn't know well; but curiosity and pride in showing off her home-made witch's costume won out in the end, and she'd go racing after Bobby up the walk, and be just as delighted as he was at the smiles and words of praise and handfuls of candy that greeted them. Three-year-old Mikey held me tight and wouldn't let me put him down, but he wouldn't let me take him home either, watching all the doings intently. The same as previous years, many of the people we visited were folks we only see at Halloween even though they live just a few doors away. Most of them, the elderly especially, had bought supplies of candy and were waiting. Most gave out two or three times as much per kid as they had originally intended, because there were so few kids out. And they were as delighted to see the kids as the kids were to see them.

Extractions: Volume 5 Lesson 3 Topic: Halloween Introduction Blood-sucking bats transforming into nocturnal vampires, candle-lit pumpkins illuminating the night through carvings of mouths, eyes and noses, sinisterly cackling women flying on broomsticks through the moonlit sky, and eager masquerading children walk the sidewalks of city streets chanting, “Trick or treat” on an evening in late October known as Halloween. Most people recognize these common images and take part in the "hallowed evening’s" festivities with little thought of what they are actually celebrating. In this Bible Study Discussion Guide we will discuss the origins of modern-day traditions on Halloween, read through the Holy Scriptures how God views the observance of holidays such as Halloween, and finally, consider how we can apply this knowledge in our lives. 1.

Thinks: The Dog Daily teach Your Dog to Smile Dress Your Dog Up for halloween Moran suggests you begin a few months before halloween (sorry, too late for this year), http://www.thedogdaily.com/thinks/you_dog/trythis/archive/halloween/
Extractions: Halloween is Peggy Moran's favorite holiday. Everyone in the family wears a costume. Even the dogs. Of course, the canines trick or treat too. In fact, Moran's dogs are trained to hold their own goodie bags. No wonder Moran is a renowned dog trainer (as well as a columnist for The Dog Daily ). Still, when it comes to self control, her bag-holding, obedience-trained dogs are still dogs. "People give us biscuits," she says. "Odd, though, that the dogs' bags never fill up with biscuits. Gee, I wonder how that happens?" Moran says she understands some dogs appear to be totally humiliated when they're dressed up. "In a way, I don't blame them," she says. "But then, many dogs really do like the attention, or at least tolerate crazy ladies like me." For dogs who are not too sure about the idea, a little lunch meat can make up for poor taste in clothing. Moran suggests you begin a few months before Halloween (sorry, too late for this year), and just drape a costume over your dog's back for a few seconds, then offer a treat. Soon your pup will drool with delight at the mere sight of the outfit.
Extractions: Cars Not Candy, Should be Parents Primary Safety Concern on Halloween Washington, D.C. Although many parents and caregivers worry about hidden dangers in their childs candy on Halloween, they should be more concerned about their childs safety as a pedestrian that evening. Each year, more than 650 children are hit by cars and killed and another 20,000 are injured and on Halloween, that number rises dramatically. In fact, children are four times more likely to suffer a pedestrian-related fatality on Halloween than any other night of the year. Thats why the National SAFE KIDS Campaign is urging parents to take precautions to keep their kids safe this Halloween. Check out the Campaign's Halloween Safety Checklist in both English (PDF) and Spanish (PDF).
