Let me say, I would be trick or treating both days if I were a kid.

Why? -Because I don't have kids and I don't go to church and I don't see the harm in trick or treating on a Sunday.

...the school night thing isn't much of an argument since Halloween falls on school nights more often than not and it isn't changed then.

I was looking forward to big parties Saturday night, sleeping in Sunday and taking the baby trick or treating Sunday night.

I always just buy my kids a bag of candy so they don't have to go out begging. I usually buy it Nov. 1 when it is 1/2 price.
It probably has to do with the church and state questions. Also Halloween is NOT a legal holiday! Governments can not tell churches when they can have a church event.quote:Originally posted by semiannualchick:
Why should the churches be allowed to have theirs on Sunday if Halloween is moved to Saturday for everyone else?
