From my young daughter's notebook titled "Things to Remember About the Truth.". I see I've failed miserably as a JW parent- or maybe not?
Halloween is like celebrating bunnies who aren't important

How old is your daughter? I wonder why she associates bunnies with Hallowe'en.

I get it. Bunnies are associated with Easter. She has learned that they have nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus.
Halloween is simply another hoilday that is not important (I think important is her way of saying "not approved")
That's my take.

Most chidren have what kind of titles on their note books? "Things to Remember"
Your daughters note book? "Things to Remember about the Truth." That really is sad! ekks! and very cultish.
Maybe you can play and teach her Julie Andrews song and help her change her note book to "These Are Some Of My Favorite Things."

I like this idea. She could put pictures of bunnies and black cats in it.

I thought it was funny because she clearly doesn't understand why we don't celebrate Halloween, Easter or birthdays as it's all just a confused conglomeration. At the same time, at least she's not an uber-dub who can spout the many reasons why holidays are bad, pagan, self-centered, etc. I've got to get my kids out soon, but it seems an impossible task.
