I have seen a lot in my day, but this is the first time, that I can recall, that Halloween has ever been moved. I didn’t know that you could do such a thing. Is there a Halloween commissioner? A Halloween MC? Does the Great Pumpkin send a message down from on high to Linus that decrees such a postponement should occur?
The weather here in Indy was bad enough to prompt the powers that be to suspend Halloween for a day and move it to tomorrow, November 1st.
I am thankful for the consideration of safety for our kids. I am thankful that I do not have to walk in the rain from empty house to empty house with my kids. However, it feels strange. Strange like hearing Derek Jeter referred to as “Mr. November”. Strange like a snow day in April (happened last year). Truman Show type strange.
Wait…WHAT? There’s no HALLOWEEN? It got rescheduled?
Would Santa let this happen? Would the Tooth Fairy take the day off? Would the Easter Bunny wait for Monday to hide eggs?
Again, the reasoning is sound. It just feels weird. It feels like you thought December 23 was Christmas Eve and you have a whole extra day to wait. It feels like we are in some random time zone that Halloween hasn’t reached yet.
So for the first time in my life, I will be participating in a Halloween Part 2. May it be dry, not too scary, but full of candy and fun.
I learned recently that Santa hates Halloween, so hopefully the Great Pumpkin has cleared this calendar discrepancy with the Jolly ol Elf himself.
Hopefully, your Halloween Part 1 was fun. I will update you on how “November” Halloween (aka Halloween Part 2) was, but in the meantime….Captain out.
