Where’s the Christian Halloween Store?

PA250925Last weekend, my parents and grandmother were in town to visit Maddie, and were so kind to give Beth and I a night out.  So after a tasty Chick-fil-A dinner, we headed to a seasonal favorite: the temporary Halloween store!  As we walked around trying to find something that wasn’t sketchy or shady, I thought to myself, “Where’s the Christian Halloween store?”  Now I realize that this may be an oxymoron to some; however, I began to wonder what all one might find in the Christian Halloween store.  Here’s some of our ponderings . . .

  • Definitely masks of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and William Carey.  It is Reformation Day ya know.
  • A shepherd outfit
  • Probably some OT characters: Moses, David, maybe a prophet or 2
  • Peanuts characters . . . Linus does quote the Christmas story, remember?
  • Bob the tomato and Larry the cucumber
  • Just say no to the Bibleman
  • Got to have some ladies: Mary, Martha, Ruth, Esther, Rahab post fall of Jericho, Church Lady

You would also have to have some good accessories . . .

  • Big Baptist hair wigs
  • A Preaching Bible (KJV only)
  • Youth pastor paste-on soul patch
  • the armor of God (Eph 6) . . . gotta have that sword of the spirit
  • offering plate

Anyway, we had a good time thinking of these things.  So now you tell us what things you would expect to find in the Christian Halloween store.

    Here’s another costume suggestion: Former-hippie/Jesus-people-era youth camp music leader, complete with acoustic guitar.

    And, of course, David Crowder wigs, paste-on goatees, and glasses.
