Halloween Confusion
Every few years…
This happens every year Halloween slides on up next to a weekend.
If it falls on a Thursday or a Monday, look out!
Does the mail run? Will the banks be open? Is it an official, legal, federally-recognized Hallmark Holiday?
WHEN DO THE KIDS GO DOOR TO DOOR?
Therefore this is the time of declarations.
Someone must declare the actual day of observance since the calendar is being so cruel.
The local neighborhood homeowner associations declare the day it will be observed within their jurisdiction.
Each church often makes its own decision.
Each television weather prognosticator has their own declaration.
Sometimes city governments get in on the act.
But America was founded on the freedom to choose whether individuals can observe the actual calendar day or select a more convenient faux Halloween.
Consequently, that means it’s another three-day weekend of lying on the floor with the lights out, saying “bah, humbug.”
