This stinks! This sucks! Halloween would lose all its delightful eeriness if they move it around like President's Day. As a kid I absolutely believed that this was the day the Dead Walked, and I don't think we can just arbitrarily move that day around, CAN WE?
One reason I like Halloween is that it has no redeeming social value. With every other holiday, as soon as you're having fun, there's someone to tell you that you need to be more solemn for some reason. You have to honor Jesus, or honor the veterans, or give thanks to God for the creamed onions. On Halloween, you can just do what you like. Maybe there are some pagans out there who think we are dishonoring Samhain, but I have generally found that pagans aren't that priggish. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Les > Believe it or not: There is a movement gathering > steam among > Halloween costume suppliers to have the holiday officially moved from the > 31st to the last Saturday of October every year. ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Deb Messling =^..^= -----------------------------------
