“9. Offer kids a nutritious selection of broccoli, cauliflower, or carrots. Have a camera ready to capture their reactions. (I have friends who do this every year - it’s absolutely hilarious. And yes, they do then provide candy.)”
You might also think about observing Reformation Day, by learning something about the Protestant Reformation (HT: Ligon Duncan) … or check out this Reformation Day book Special at Monergism Books.

Featured on the next “Two Reformed Brothers” show:
“Join Paul [Kaiser] and friends for a special Halloween Show this Sunday, October 26th, featuring our favorite Pagan turned street Preacher, Jim Jones! Jim will explain the origins of many Halloween traditions and tell us how we can best witness to wiccans and pagans. Trick or treating, costumes, black cats, jack-o-lanterns… and much more!”

Halloween for Christians
October 3, 2008
A brief commentary on the holiday by Douglas Wilson at Blog and Mablog:
What to avoid. We want parish parties, not pious parties. So when neighborhood trick or treaters come to your door, I would encourage you to give them more candy than unbelievers give, as opposed to a glare and/or a tract about the fires of hell.
