You OBVIOUSLY don’t have kids. Otherwise you would think this is a great idea. I know you aren’t invited to parties but if you were would you have it on a Monday night just because it is Halloween. I think you are off your rocker. All Saints Day is fine on the first of November.

It’s just a stinkin made up “holiday” anyway so have your party or whatever any time you want to. Why does the government have to be involved in it?

Let's also pass a law so that it never rains, or isn't too cold and it's not too dark. That would make it safer and easier as well.

Let's move Christmas to June. It's too cold and dangerous driving to everyones house in the snow.

Maybe we should also move Christmas eve to the Saturday before December 25th, then have Christmas on the 25th of December.

Have four children.

Otherwise you would think this is a great idea.

Nope, it's dumb and a further erosion of Western and American tradition.

I know you aren’t invited to parties

OMG how did you know!? (Commence sobbing)

but if you were would you have it on a Monday night just because it is Halloween.

Have your party whenever but Halloween will always be on Halloween.

I think you are off your rocker.

You're right, at 6'6" and 275 lbs. I broke the last rocker I owned.

All Saints Day is fine on the first of November.

The pope is much relieved he doesn't have to change the calendar to accomodate your parties.

One more thing, consider this for your costume this year:

Okey Dokey, did you realize that Halloween is not an official holiday and you can observe it any day you choose?

Let’s see how we need to change our calender of holidays.

New Year’s has to stay on the 1st.

Valentine’s day will be the nearest Saturday to the 14th for romantic dates.

St. Patrick’s will also be on a Saturday so you can recover from your hangover on Sunday and the Corned Beef and Cabbage menu will not interfere with Lent.

Easter can remain as is since it is already on the weekend.

The 4th of July...well, it is the the 4th of July so unless we also rename it and rewrite history then it should remain the 4th of July.

Thanksgiving...why the heck is it on a Thursday anyway?...so federal workers can get a 4 day holiday?

Christmas, well, people already want to call it Winter Holiday so let’s just get realistic and call it Winter break because if we leave Jesus out then there is no reason for a holiday.

You know you could always make your own holiday for any day you want, just because All Hallow’s Eve is a religious festival doesn’t mean you couldn’t start your own secular Scary Dress-up Day and you can choose any day that you want. You can buy all the candy you want and if you are as popular as you seem to think, you’ll have lots of friends joining in.
