But this time I have to kind of agree with the parishes, its a safety thing.
You see we are supposed to have 100% chance of rain Saturday night. Not just rain, but thunderstorms and heavy downfall. And while there was many a year where I Trick or Treated in the rain and cold we NEVER ventured out in severe weather. It didn't happen often but I can remember a couple times where I didn't get to go Trick or Treating so I still dressed up, mom made popcorn, and we watched scary movies. Was I happy about it? Of course not I was a kid but what else were we going to do?
With that said starting yesterday many of the parishes in S.E. Louisiana began saying they were moving Halloween to Friday. And people are LOSING THEIR $HIT! I get it, I do but they aren't moving Halloween, they are moving Trick or Treating. And as much as I hate to say it, it makes sense. But it was a poor choice of words news stations.
Look, the weather is supposed to be INSANE in the area. It is an outdoor holiday and they are thinking about safety first. Also, as the Sheriff of one of the parishes said families spend a bit of money on Halloween. They buy costumes and candy and decorations. It would be a shame to let it all go to waste because of the weather. It.makes.sense.
So people calm the f**k down! You can still "celebrate" Halloween. Try to be positive! Think of it as getting TWO evenings of Halloween fun, instead of just one. Friday you do the Trick or Treating thing and Saturday you sit home watching scary movies in the crazy weather. Its a win win people!
Wait, isn't that how many scary movies begin? A girl all alone watching TV while the wind howls and the rain pounds the roof. Suddenly the lights go out, the dogs starts growling and *dun dun dun*, I dunno you fill in the rest.
Crap...I'm going to be home alone...great I just scared myself.
