Last year we decided strictly against it. But last year we were slightly more Kosher too.
And we were at a conservative synagogue.
Not to say that we aren't still leaning conservative but we're more open minded now about other things. Like Halloween.
I decided I dislike the argument that Jews shouldn't celebrate Halloween. Mainly because we aren't really celebrating it. We are participating in it. It is a secular holiday and any arguments that say otherwise (like those that say it's a pagan holiday and therefore idolatrous) are full of it.
I didn't convert haredi for a reason, mainly being that I don't quite jibe with the whole distancing-oneself-from the-mainstream bit.
Also, Ami is already so different as it is. And he will grow up feeling different even if he goes to Jewish day school. so I figure I can give him one mainstream holiday.
