Wake Up People! The War Is Real!

_{I think this battle plan is erroneous and probably intended as a deliberate "leak" by the enemy, to deceive, misguide and confuse. In truth, Halloween, being a time that celebrates the practice of trickery and the dead, is far more likely to be the aggressor against Christmas, which is a time that celebrates the birth of He who overcame death. And Thanksgiving is far more likely to be the ally, rather than the enemy, of Christmas, a time when we give thanks for Him who gave His all. The reality is that we should all be united in a war against Halloween to remove it permanently from the calendar and to erase all record and memory of its existence. After the inevitable victory over Halloween, the day that was formerly dedicated to Halloween should be reallocated to Easter celebrations, the time when we celebrate the resurrection and victory over death.}

_{Mirkwood, you should know better than to be deceived by such simple disinformation campaigns.}

Agreed. We should celebrate life, not death.

Black Friday is also declaring war on Thanksgiving. Some stores opened as early as 6:00 PM on Thanksgiving night last year. Thanksgiving is supposed about giving thanks (obviously), not about buying a bunch of junk for really cheap.

I thought you'd be more inclined to count the number of nights than days.

I think @mirkwood would gladly go all out in celebrating October 31st with a tribute to the dead rising from their graves. He's probably already got his lawn decorations planned and counting it down right now.

As long as we're using the former Halloween to commemorate other events, we can shift the school schedules to hold graduation ceremonies the last day of October in honor of the downfall of superstition and unenlightened thinking. @mirkwood, see if your tribute can have a some sort of a call for "brains!".
