    Really???

    Postponing Halloween cause of rain is like postponing Christmas cause of snow. I say "If you want some candy, then **** it up buttercup & bring an umbrella!"

    This is how I feel! Halloween has no business invading November... that's thanksgiving's territory.

      Yeah seriously. be flexible people. Or dress for the weather! I always choose costumes to be able to have layers put under them. It's like, logic.

      My community just bumped up the time, 5:30 to 7 instead of 6-8.

      Of course, I'm scrambling to manage that. I'm texting parents for early pick ups around 5 so I can get my kids ready and we can get to my sister's house (we ToT in her neighborhood).
      Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

          Our community & several surrounding ones moved trick or treat to Saturday. It is supposed to be VERY windy (30-40 mph) today but really the temps are quite mild for Oct - 60 something here. It wouldn't bother me to have T or T tonight.

            Ours is always the 31st. Rain or not. Although I suppose if we had some natural disaster like a hurricane there would be something done. Instead we just do what everyone else does and pray for no rain and to not freeze. Right now it is almost 70 and cloudy. The rain is supposed to hold off until after midnight so we should be in the clear.

              Everybody here is doing trunk or treat things now. Hardly any kids do trick or treating like we did back in the 80's

              (I have nothing against truck or treat things.)

                  There is an assisted living place that does trick or treat at the residents' doors. The residents love it & it's indoors so we are going to that tonight. We did trunk or treat at our church's fall festival this past Sunday. We do regular trick or treat too but ours was just postponed until Sat.

                    Our county postponed trick or treat due to a little rain. We are teaching children the wrong message with that one if you ask me.

                      I think a lot of the postponing (at least around here in MI) is due to the fact that there are going to be very high winds, a lot of rain, and it's a safety/visibility factor. Still stinks, but I can kind of see the reasoning behind it.

                        Where abouts in MI are you? I'm on the SW side of the mitten. Lots of rain but not much wind so far. I think TorT is still on here tonight. Just curious

                            Here in SW WI many years it rains on Halloween and is cold. We just trudge on thru the wet and cold ;-). Today has started warm and wet. Not sure what it will be like by tonight!

                              It is always the Saturday before Halloween here. There was a year that was really yucky and I asked my kids which they would rather do, go out trick or treating or I would buy them each a bag of their favorite candy and we would watch a movie. They picked the candy! (of course I didn't allow them to eat it all that night.. it was spaced out just like Halloween candy was)
