Keep Halloween on October 31, or move it to the last Saturday of October?<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving happens on the fourth Thursday of November, and Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. If Halloween and Custom Association<\/b> gets its way, Halloween would also move dates: <\/p>\n

We feel the change is inevitable and that in the end, the logic behind creating a safer, longer Halloween will prevail. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And:<\/p>\n

Halloween has become a commercial holiday — a time of fun, celebration and embracing the opportunity to become anything you could possibly dream of becoming, even if it’s just for a day. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One reasoning is that it would be financially better for some groups. <\/p>\n

With many people having Saturday and Sunday off, the use of the customs doesn’t end with trick or treat. Granted, people wear Halloween customs in some work locations, but look at the possibilities… There’s the clubbing and bar hoping that takes place on Friday and Saturday night. <\/p>\n

I don’t wear Halloween customs these days, but something else goes on during October. Halloween lights and decorations help beat back the lengthening darkness by “extending” light… Orange light. I have enough Halloween decorations to be “decked indoors” like Christmas. Used to have the outdoor counterparts. <\/p>\n

Come November 1, the Halloween decorations come down, and the Thanksgiving lights and decorations go up. <\/p>\n

Now for one of your scares, or laughs, for the day. Someone that we know as an NPC (smile).<\/p>\n
