One thing I wonder about is why my town has Trick or Treat night on the twenty fifth of the month? When I was a kid, we had Mischief night on the 30th, then Halloween on the 31st. Last night hubby and I were going to a function at the library and were surprised to see kids in costume wandering around. As we drew up to the stop light, a group started to cross the street and some dumbo nearly ran the red light and hit them. He had loud music playing in his car and slammed on the brakes just in time. My point is, when it really is Halloween, people are expecting to see children moving about in large groups after dark. I feel it is a safety issue, to pick some random night and pretend is it is the actual date of Halloween.
What do you all think? Should towns stick to the actual day or pick random days like mine does?
