I'm personally opposed. My sister and just got into a big argument about this on the phone.

6. Hallowe'en is not a moveable holiday!
What does your sister think it is, Washington's birthday or something?

7. My town is doing trick-or-treat on THURSDAY
They don't even call it Halloween - it's "begger's night". They have not held it on 10/31 since I've lived there.

Why would you be opposed to trick-or-treating on Sunday?

9. I'm opposed to moving trick-or-treating to another night
My sister, who has become a born-again Christian lately, is opposed to having it on Sunday because she says it might be offensive to Christians.

I say if they're that offended by Halloween, they shouldn't celebrate it regardless of what day it's on.

10. I think you have a point there
But unfortunately, the xtian fundies believe that religious freedom means the freedom to shove their religion down everyone's throat.
