With Halloween over, we now sit and wait 鈥� and plan 鈥� for Thanksgiving. As always, it鈥檚 the fourth Thursday in November. It鈥檚 been so since President Lincoln declared 鈥淗arvest Day鈥� (it鈥檚 original name) as final Thursday of this month.

And we鈥檙e fine with that, right? Even with its status as a federal holiday 鈥� one that many people mark as their favorite 鈥� we鈥檙e fine with it falling on a different date from year to year.

We know how to plan because we can all count to four.

So why not do the same for Halloween?

Yes, I know Halloween is pegged to October 31. And yes,. It started with an ancient Celtic festival. Then in the eighth century A.D., Pope Gregory III declared that November 1 would be the day to honor saints in the form of All Saints Day.

The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve and later Halloween.

But in the modern United States, Halloween mostly has lost its religious trappings. It鈥檚 about candy, trick-or-treating, costumes and parties.

So why not just make it the fourth Saturday of October?

There are a few great reasons:

— given its distant connection to the date, the 31st matters less all of the time;

— children would be safer trick-or-treating on a weekend night without commuters out and without parents racing to get home from work to take their own children out;

— party planning gets way easier;

— most important, we would not be forced to deal with the epic weekday traffic like we had last Thursday when parents鈥� rushing home ran headlong into commuter jams. (Don鈥檛 believe me? Just as 成人X站 Radio鈥檚 Tracy Taylor.)

Put simply, we are long past needing Halloween to fall on the 31st. We roll the date for Thanksgiving. We can do it for All Hallows Eve, too.

Let鈥檚 change it. Tell me why I鈥檓 wrong in the comments section below.
