There's A Petition To Create "National Trick-Or-Treat Day"

When I moved to Iowa from Missouri, I had to get used to the idea of "Beggars Night" - Iowa towns setting a night DIFFERENT than Halloween for trick-or-treating. In Missouri, trick-or-treat is ON HALLOWEEN. Apparently, Iowa is a trend-setter.

The Halloween & Costume Association started a Change.org petition to try and get Halloween moved. See the petition here - it seeks to designate the last Saturday in October “National Trick or Treat Day.”

Apparently, there are a lot of parents who really wish they didn’t have to trick-or-treat with the kids on a school night.

The petition has garnered over 153,000 signatures, just shy of their 200,000 signature goal. The petition notes, “With your support, we will create a safer, longer, bigger celebration for ALL by making National Trick or Treat Day official!”

But not everyone is down with the idea. “#NationalTrickOrTreatDay(aka "ALLoween") has obnoxiously been made official & it can kiss my a--,"one Twitter user shared."You want free candy, show up on 10/31 Halloween. If you come knocking on the last Saturday of October I won't answer, but if I do you'll get a grape tomato.”
