Christians would you let your children dress up in costumes and partake in a non-Christian holiday?

Question:

Christians would you let your children dress up in costumes and partake in a non-Christian holiday?

March 21st (2008) is Purim the Jewish holiday of costumes, candy, and merry-making. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purim

The centerpiece to the holiday is the reading of the Book of Esther (Original Testament) in its entirety. Many audiences treat the reading like an old fashioned (to non-Jews) melodrama. When the villain is named everyone stomps their feet and hisses. Portions of the story are sung by the whole audience.

Other plays, readings, and even puppet shows are performed before, during, and after the holiday.

It is also, a traditional day for adults to give gifts and fruit baskets to each other.
In many countries with a high Jewish population it is a popular secular holiday with public parades, music, music, and food. Many non-Jews have participated in these festivals for generations.
No, I am not Jewish.
I am not Christian or Muslim either.
I am not an Atheist.

I did work in a costume shop for a while. :)
I guess this could serve as a test of whether people are reading the question or not. LOL
