So, what do you say that Halloween falls on Sunday in 2010? That can't be good, isn't it?

I know there will be small trick-or-treaters on that night of Sunday. I'd like to hear from some of you who have done in the past when Halloween was on Sunday.

no mormons then lol

The Mormons are strict about the Sabbath. If you ever look at one of those corny Mormon magazines like New Era or The Friend kids are always writing stories about how they missed out on a sweet 16 or a baseball game because it was Sunday.

That's gonna be a really bad Monday.....

I live it Salt Lake City! Look's like I'm in ffor a good Halloween.

I doubt the Mormons are as strict about the Sabbath as the Orthadox Jews, but you are correct RDM. Mormons don't even believe in shopping on Sunday, unless it's an emergincy (like, it's the only day you can buy food or medicine) or working on Sunday unless you absolutely have to.
Then again the jews have a different sabbath day, called Shabbat. But their sabbath is the original sabbath on the 7th day. They believe the sabbath begins friday night at sundown until sundown on Saturday. Jews believe the next day begins at Sundown, rather than at Midnight.
Personally the next day begins when I wake up the following morning. :p
In any case, I doubt they'll cancel Halloween just because it's on Sunday because Halloween is usually celebrated at night. Church activities are usually over by 1:00 and that's for Mormons, and Christians. And if you're catholic I believe their mass is on Saturday night. I learned the hard way not to drive by the local catholic church on a Saturday night after work. I must've waited five minutes for people crossing the street at the 4-way stop.
Oye, why can't everyone just agree to go to church on the same day at the same time? :O

My only problem with Halloween being on a Sunday is that trick or treating will be held on the Saturday before. I don't like the idea of celebrating it on a day other than Oct 31. Yeah, we could have our party on Sunday, but it's not the same.

I really doubt it. Well I mean maybe in your town.

The last time Halloween was on a Sunday, they did indeed have trick or treating on Saturday. It was that way in most places around us, too.

i think most towns will move trick or treating to saturday. thats fine with me because it almost makes halloween two days long that way.

When Halloween does fall on a weekday, I do actually prefer to have the celebrations on the following weekend or the weekend before BECAUSE of the whole getting up early the next day thing.
Actually, I think Friday is an ideal Halloween day because you get to celebrate Halloween, and relax for the rest of the weekend and eat candy. :p Of course...I only get sundays off where I work. I want a job with the weekends off...so I'm probably going to look into working on a Doctor's office when I get my degree.
Sunday has always been a bittersweet day for me. Sure, you get the day off, but there's that nagging feeling that it's the last day of the weekend before you have to return to school/work the next day. I'd much rather have Halloween on a Friday.
