I'm not really a big proponent of Halloween.
One of the reasons that I'll share is that Halloween gets much more attention, especially in retail....than, our more important holiday.....
....Thanksgiving!!!
But....regardless of how I feel....
....Halloween is still celebrated.
(I was truly offended that no one asked my opinion!!! ;-)
ha! ha!
Does this mean that I'm the Halloween Scrooge and don't give out candy....
or, that I don't go a bit overboard in buying for the GRANDsons?

Absolutely not!
(not that we really need an excuse when it comes to our GRAND's!!)
The precious little trick-or-treaters who come to our door get a coupon for a free Frosty from Wendy's.

Leave it to a chocoholic (me)....and an ice cream-o-holic (Pappy).....to make the choice of ice cream coupons....
(they also get a tract about accepting Jesus into their hearts....
....a Tootsie Roll Pop....
....and some Smarties!!!)

So....in honor of Halloween....and my love of CHOCOLATE....

Having a craving for chocolate so sweet
A thin piece of chocolate with nuts would be neat!
Loving that feeling of chocolate on lips
Lips lightly smeared with some chocolate-y chips!
Oh for a chocolate-y chunk or a square!
What? Did you say you've some chocolate to spare?
Even now my mouth waters for chocolate cake
Er, maybe some chocolate-y cocoa to make.
Now I can't stand it, I have to go now....
....and get me some HALLOWEEN CHOCOLATE right now!!!
HOPE your Halloween is full of lots of sweet treats....
....especially, chocolate ones!!!
;-)
In HIS Most Precious Love....and with mine!!!
Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteYour post, has given me food for thought (no pun intended) I don't like Halloween at all and will not have anything to do with it. But maybe I should concentrate on the chocolate side and hand out tracts about Jesus. After all as was once said *Why should the devil, have all the good music" (just a thought that popped into my head).
God Bless, Thank you for your encouraging comment on my blog. Hugs Nita.
:) I agree with Nita, I do not celebrate Halloween in any form or fashion...but I will as Nita, and pass out tracts of Salvation through Jesus Christ...good ideal Nita! :)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is the first day of November .... the month of Thanksgiving ...I choose to see it as a month set apart to express my heart of thanksgiving for all things in and of HIM
Beautiful blog! Very nice and calm.

I love your thoughts on Halloween. We have to bend a little or we will break.
