I'm sorry I got to this thread so late. I imagine whatever I say will not be of much help by this point. I struggled with this one too, although I for sure would not give out anything with sugar because we don't eat it.
I made a sign for our door that read:
Sorry!
We are not celebrating Halloween.
Tomorrow is a Holy Day for us.
Please do not ring the doorbell.
Thank you and God bless you!
I attached a beautiful picture I found through Google image search of all the Saints in Glory.
Unfortunately, most kids don't bother reading signs, so I ended up having to put a piece of masking tape with a big red circle and X-out over the doorbell...
If you don't want to be that extreme, you could hand out small bags of pretzels or raisins...
As far as it being sinful, I think it has a lot to do with intent...I remember someone saying to me once that if you feel as if you might have sinned, you probably did...
