48 hr media prompt. 10/30/25
The 48-hour media prompt is the song from " The Nightmare Before Christmas."

This makes me feel conflicted. When I was growing up, Halloween was an absolutely no-go holiday. My father was born into a Jehovah's Witnesses family. They celebrated no holidays. He joined a nondenominational church with my mom, and he only grudgingly accepted Christmas and easter, but that was it. I was seventeen before I trick-or-treated the first time, and it wasn't as much fun as it would have been if I were younger.

I still worry about whether I am going to hell for carving a pumpkin or watching Halloween shows and movies like Nightmare Before Christmas.
