This has been gaining steam over the last few years, and there are strong opinions on both sides:Ā Ā Should we change Halloween so it always falls on the last Saturday in October?
Ā
Ā
It would make trick-or-treating easier, especially for parents.Ā Ā And we already do it with other holidays.Ā Ā Thanksgiving is always the third Thursday in November.Ā Ā And Memorial Day is the last Monday in May.
Ā
Ā
The main argument against it is it's always been the 31st.Ā Ā So why change now?
Ā
Ā
Back in 2018, the Halloween & Costume Association launched aĀ Change.orgĀ petitionĀ to make it happen.Ā Ā It's racked up over 150,000 signatures since then, so a lot of people are into the idea.Ā Ā But there's no actual plan in the works to do it.
Ā
Ā
If we did make Halloween the last Saturday in October, it would fall on the 28th this year . . . the 26th next year . . . and the 25th in 2025.
Ā
