Has anyone gone to change.org to sign the petition to move Halloween to the last Saturday of the month? Sounds like a great idea to me!
Pragmatically, a fine idea. I would have a hard time putting aside my nostalgia for October 31st.
No, not cool with this at all. Halloween is always the 31st. Tradition.
A nice idea for pragmatism, but wouldn’t really affect any change as Halloween isn’t a recognized holiday…anywhere I think. Not like we get off work or school for it here in the US at least. It would probably be better to have trick-or-treating moved to the last Saturday, but that’s all I can really think. I know this year I did most of my celebration on the last Saturday out on the town, as many adults might.
Agreed
One of the stupidest ideas in recent memory. The petition is from a group of Halloween retailers who think Saturday means “safer and longer” Halloween celebrations. Weekdays are far safer when it comes to drunk driving and other incidents. I am letting the businesses represented in the petition know they won’t get my business if they continue to support this. Not only is October 31st tradition, it’s the entire reason Halloween exists at all. I’d rather see Halloween declared a holiday when it falls on weekdays instead of moving the date.

It’s something I’ve gotten used to but don’t care for. Where I live in PA, every town celebrates different. Some do trick or treat on the 31st, but others (like mine) do the Friday preceding, or the weekend before. Of course it gives people the option of going out multiple times. The ONLY reason it works for me at all is because Halloween doesn’t end after trick or treat. We still get to celebrate for a few days.

Totally agree.
^This^
Absolutely agreed.
Hell no. That’s dumb. lol
Yeah you won’t see this kind of non sense with any other Holiday. Leave Halloween the fuck be!
Just make halloween a national holiday, that would be a lot better in my eyes. Having that day off I think would increase the number of people who celebrate, hopefully. I only had 3 trick or treaters this year which kinda sucks. Make Halloween great again! [emoji38]

I say we petition to make every current holiday Halloween instead. 
Davy i’ll stand with you on that one buddy! 
It is synonymous with the 31th.
That’s dumb. Halloween is a very specific holiday and loses all meaning by tossing it around. Now the original date I’ve heard is anywhere from October 31st, October 21st, November 7th, or November 11th (Keep in mind the Gaelic peoples celebrated days from sundown to sundown not how we currently do things), but Halloween has been tied to October 31st since the Gregorian calendar came about almost 500 years ago. Not only that but it’s not a U.S. only thing and still holds some meaning in Gaelic and Celtic areas.
