ya just know that if it was a day off work it'd be moved to a Monday, so why NOT have it on Friday??? ya just know that if it was a day off work it'd be moved to a Monday, so why NOT have it on Friday???Halloween in America is a purely secular holiday, a time of partying and festivity and spooks and scares, very like the old harvest festival/welcome to winter celebration it was in the old pagan era before the christian missionaries swiped it for its PR value.
another thing:
>in 1863, Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November as a national day of Thanksgiving.
>Franklin Roosevelt set it to the next-to-last Thursday (in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season).
>Public uproar against this decision caused FDR to move Thanksgiving back to the final Thursday two years later.
>in 1941, Thanksgiving was sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, always to fall on the fourth Thursday in November.
