Thread: Halloween to be voted away with??/

Tweet

So my mom and I were talking this evening and she told me that on the radio today they said that they were going to take Halloween off as a holiday. There is already one state that does not celebrate Halloween. Now there is going to be a vote on which holiday should be taken off and Halloween and Valentine are the two that are in discussion. Now i said that in another post awhile ago that it looks like there trying to do away with Halloween since there has been very little merchandise and costumes being displayed at stores this year. .... Keep your ears open if you hear anything.

Halloween is a HUGE business to merchandising. There is no way all of the stores and manufacturers will let someone "vote away" Halloween... that's impossible.

Not only that, but you can't make people stop celebrating unless you make it against the law, and that would also never happen.

There has been a backlash in the last 20 years against Halloween as being an "evil" holiday, but it will weather the idiotic religious nuts just like it always has.

Sounds like a typical urban legend. It grosses the most money next to xmas then any other holiday. The stores alone would freak not to mention the people.

There has been rumors of the same thing with the classic cars and not allowing them on the street if they are so old. Supposedly there is a bill waiting to be signed into law about that too. I've heard it for about 5 years now.

Do you know what state was mentioned that doesn't celebrate it? I'm kind of surprised that it would be state wide or maybe that just the capitol doesn't do anything for it.

well im sure people can still do there own thing. But they can take it off the calendar and not have it a holiday anymore..

Well, nobody is gonna take it away from me baby!

Halloween is the big candy selling holiday! The candy companies aren't about to let them do
away with it.
