Made in Manila Happy Halloween
Halloween is celebrated by millions of people as a fun time for kids, putting on costumes, and going door-to-door to get candy. On one hand, some see Halloween as a harmless time of fun. So instead of shunning the holidayembrace it as an evangelistic opportunity. When else could you have dozens of little kids (and the adults with them) are showing up at your front door or church eagerly accepting gospels tracts? Take care and God bless. Enjoy the Holiday and Happy Halloween
Halloween Safety Tips:
Trick-or-treating
•Feed children before trick-or-treating and give them some candy from home while trick- or-treating to avoid the temptation to eat from their bags.
•Use smaller trick-or-treat bags to decrease the urge to get more candy.
•Carry a flashlight or glow sticks, wear reflective clothing or tape, and watch for cars. Try to finish before dark.
•An adult should accompany young children, and visits should be limited to familiar well-lit homes.
•Avoid barking dogs or other upset animals.
Costumes
•Wear flame-retardant costumes that are roomy enough to allow a child to dress warmly but not too big that children may trip or brush against a flame.
•Choose light colored costumes or use reflective tape to make children more visible.
•Consider using makeup instead of a mask to allow unobstructed vision. All masks, wigs and beards should fit securely, allowing for full vision.
•Face paints or makeup should be making of nontoxic material. Wash with soap and water if an allergic reaction develops.
•Make sure accessories, such as swords, are made of soft or flexible material
