Goblins????
Sure. And very Christian as well.
​
One of my favorite prayers is the one for All Hallows Eve, the source of Halloween.
​
"From ghoulies and ghosties
and long-leggedy beasties,
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!"

Re: Goblins????
It's an old Anglican prayer. The tradition of Halloween (the evening before All Saint's Day originally) came about by the combination of two traditions, the Celtic Samhain, The Day of the Dead when those who had died in the past returned among the living, and Martyrs Day (later to become All Saints Day or All Souls Day) which was instigated by Pope Gregory in 835 CE.
