I assumed that the "alternate Halloween" days/times had to do with bedtime.

Posted by kelly Oct 15 '12, 08:33

By the time it gets dark around here, I'd imagine it conflicts with (or comes close to) small children's bedtimes. Nathan's tiny so he won't care this year, but he's in bed around 7:30 or 8:00 every night. There will be, what, a half hour of dark before bedtime? That's enough time to get him into his costume, go to 2 or 3 houses, and get him changed into PJs, fed and into bed.

As he won't be eating candy and won't remember, he won't care, but I can see why a 2 or 3 yr old would be upset. Kids around here wait until dark to go out for candy.

I think alternate Halloween is a bit silly, too, but I can sorta see why some like it.

Halloween when it's still daytime sucks imo. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:38
tangent, I'm a little sad that according to our neighbors, Halloween isn't really a big thing on our block. - znufrii Oct 15, 08:36 4
- Heh. I wish it was like that around here. - kelly Oct 15, 08:38 3
  - i would (seriously) put out a sign on my lawn that says "No Costume, No Candy". - Andie Oct 15, 08:54 1
    - I really don't trust the kids around here. The development has enough problems with them (sheriffs are called frequently). - kelly Oct 15, 08:59
  - jz's mom was here this weekend and told us that in her town, only kids under 12 can trick or treat to keep that from happening. - amanda Oct 15, 08:47
bah...bedtimes get extended on Halloween. It's only 1 night a year. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 08:34 3
- Our halloween hours in the town end at like 7pm. Off to bed! :) -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 08:37 1
