Halloween is a great tradition and tons of fun for sure. From jack-o-lanterns to candy to costumes, it's a great day to have some scary fun. However, the left has gotten their hands on it and attempted to sanitize it and to tell us what we can and can't wear. Sad, but not surprising.
Well just just crossed paths with a leftist that loves Halloween. Consider your stereotype busted.
I disagree with this. Halloween is October 31 for reason. When it falls during the week, don't most people celebrate it the weekend before anyways?
Not anywhere I have lived. I think everyone knows that October 31st is Halloween and that's when it is observed. I've never seen any attempt to move it to a different day on a weekend actually work -- trick or treat still takes place on the real day. The holiday has a life of its own and you just expand it further by holding some sort of artificial weekend celebration. It is tied to the religious calendar so who do we send the petition to?
It's a Christian Festival that predates the US itself and dates back to the 8th Century and Pope Gregory III.
All Hallows Eve is on the 31st October and the following day the 1st November is 'All Saints Day' in most christan cultures.
Actually, like Christmas and Easter, it's an old pagan festival that the Roman Catholic church co-opted when people just refused to stop observing it.
Whatever. You don't need a petition to celebrate it any day you choose. Right here in America, some Greek Orthodox celebrate Christmas in early January. They don't need anyone's permission to do that.
As long as we can have two Saturdays in a week, I'm good with that!
