Halloween is the best holiday of the year only 42% of the time. The rest, it’s a confusing letdown.
The biggest unpopular opinion in this post is that Thanksgiving is lame.
Thanksgiving sucks ASS because I have to listen to Uncle Dylan say the N word and make small talk with the cousin who raped me as a boy!
No, you don’t. Anyone who tells you that you must is pro-bigot and pro-rape.
Thanksgiving is a holiday about what you are glad for in your life. The only people you should deal with on Thanksgiving are those who you would thank God for putting (or keeping) in your life.
Everyone else should either take the hint, or not be surprised when you engage in the modern tradition of “tell off your racist uncle who can’t keep his mouth shut” day.
And if you’re a kid, the job of keeping those people away from you is your parents’. They can either step up now or deal with never seeing you once you move out.
While I appreciate the idea. Halloween happens to be based on Samhain which is the midpoint between the Autumnal Equinox and Winter Solstice.
The best method would be to rearrange the whole calendar so it’s always on a Friday. We would then have static days of the week for all dates as well
How about we just rid of daylight savings time switches?
How does that help with the problem of midweek Halloween?
It doesn’t, so we might as well do something important.
So you agree that we should focus on making Halloween fall on Friday.
Works for me.
The traditional reason for why it is when it is, doesn’t need to be followed. We can start our own traditions. We’re allowed to change things.
Seems like there’d be more money spent on parties if it were always on Friday night. So, big business should get behind it.
