Will you skip Halloween since it's on a Sunday?

Over here, i think the celebrations is on both days! haha =D On sat, it's for the clubbers so that they are able to have fun deep into the night, and carry over to the next morning even, While on sun, it's much toned down due to a working day the next day. Halloween is not widely celebrated here in the past, but now, it's even celebrated in the zoo! lol =D

I wouldn't call Halloween a pagan holiday..I would call it a commercial one. I don't think the fact that Halloween has fallen on a week-night has ever bothered me or prevented me from going trick or treating. However, now I'm 20, and so it wasn't a problem that I had to worry about. All of the Halloween parties were the night before, though, on Saturday.. LOL. I do know that.

Not a freaking chance!! Last Sunday we went to our best friend's place to hand out candy, and get tipsy, and have a little harmless fun. Maybe a kid or two dressed up as a devil, but no devils were worshiped on our property. Maybe my husband and i got a little tipsy, but our friend drove us there, stayed home once we got back to his place, and hubby and I took a cab home. We handed out candy, and giving candy to the neighbour-children is a generous thing to do, and only on halloween can we get away with it, with all the crap around about taking candy from "strangers." LOL We just had a little harmless fun, and I don't think God objected.

I passed out candy and had way more kids last night then I had last year....In fact I had to get into my private stash just to make it through the evening...it was fun though!

We don't really go in for the trick or treating but, we did enjoy a great halloween party on the saturday night! We all got dressed up and it was a good evening!

No one here trick or treated on Saturday. It was on the news that all would do it on Sunday. They would probably use them next year if not this year. No one around here is that religious that they would let it cause a problem for their children to go out and have some fun. Thank goodness.

I don't really celebrate Halloween anyway, so it doesn't bother me. I think my church is actually running a Halloween party tonight. I don't have anything against it and think it might be fun for a lot of people to dress up and eat candy. I heard there was a law in this one town that outlaws trick or treating on Sundays.

I don't participate. No candy, no costumes (well, actually I have lots of costumes, but I don't break them out for Halloween.) I have all the lights off and STILL had someone come ring the bell and bang on the door.

whatever day it falls, I will always celebrate. the fact it's a Pagan festival isn't a negative to me, being born and raised in a Pagan family. we didn't get anyone on Saturday, but if we had they'd have just got the blank stare the same as any year when people turn up on the wrong day. if you turn up on the wrong day, we won't have goodie bags ready, we won't have decorations, unless it's the day after, we won't have spooky sounds playing, and you get the blank stare.

My grankids will be going out Trick or Treating and it is going to really cold out. After work today me and my kitchen aid will be going to a haunted houe! I can't wait, as I have not been to one in a long time.

Hi gitfiddleplayer, The children here will be trick or treating tonight as they always do on Halloween, and that's as it should be. Halloween is no more of a pagan holiday than Christmas. Tomorrow is All Saints Day, and Halloween is All Hallows Eve. In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25. Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast. The Romans as well celebrated the date before the birth of Christ. Blessings.

Well, for me personally, I am not joining the celebrators of Halloween. I don't wear costumes and no treat for me. I am also wondering if what the people are doing since it falls on Sunday? There's nothing so big in the area where I am now. As if I don't see anybody in costume and no kids knocking in our door. Well, maybe in other areas they are having trick and treat but here where I am now, nothing in particular.

you know it kind of snuck up on me. i thought today would be the 30th for some reason and now im wondering if the church where my kids go are going to have their annual party or if they had it last night for halloween. and if the kids are coming over as i heard nothing from them last night.

hi gitfid, nopes. tradition is tradition. we wont skipped it. besides, its declared holiday here so we will making most of it. happy halloweend and mylotting. ;-)

Actually I thought there would be trick or treaters last night and then I was told that the whole town had switched it to Saturday night...not surprising...they've done it before. It really doesn't matter to me b/c we don't really do much for Halloween and we don't have kids. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

Hello my friend gitfiddleplayer Ji, So nice of you for rewinding my memory some seven years back, when we witnessed this day whine at FT. LDR Dale in Miami area in 2003. Thanks. I feel anyuthing treligious must be conducted on due date at due timie and as per schedule laid down by our family traditions customs and rituals. There should not be any compromise as this has lot many side effects plus and minus as well. Take care. May God bless You and have a great time.
