Halloween Versus the Sabbath

I thought I was the only person who really was bothered by the fact that Halloween is on a Sunday this year. Well, it appears I am not alone. Many Bible Belt towns are trying to decide whether to "reschedule" the ghosts and costumes holiday to Saturday, or to put the demons up against God on the ole day of rest. It appears there is no way to satisfy both the religious and the candy-lusters.

Well, at least I know I am a little weird about Halloween. I don't begrudge anyone else the celebration, but I just can't bring myself to enjoy a day that originally was set aside to celebrate everything that is dark and horrible about life.
