The Sacrosanct Sunday Syndrome

Take a sit down break with me for a moment.

What is today? Today is Saturday the 30th.

Is it Halloween? By Jove no tis not! SUNDAY is the 31st.

So, I guess it's just a Mormon thing, the sacrosanct Sunday syndrome. Don't get me wrong here I firmly believe in not working Sundays and taking the day off, (although in college I worked 7 days a week)but tell me this: How is handing out candy to little kids on Sunday work?

I've heard it called "Excessive Recreation." It would make sense to me if doing it on a Sunday was faux pas because Halloween has evil undertones and witchcraft secular blah blah blah, but seriously, don't label it as something that one cannot fully expound to a non-believer. What constitutes as Excessive Recreation? Oh certainly not skiing, not grocery shopping, not going to the park. Take a piece of chalk and draw a line somewhere otherwise you'll be going everywhere.

Okay, so maybe the kids get to go out twice today and tomorrow (THE REAL HALLOWEEN) Cool, I can handle that. BUT--

HALLOWEEN IS THE 31ST AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

Don't get me started about not lighting off fireworks on the 4th of July but waiting until the 5th or doing it a day early.

Wait, remind me again what day did we get our Independence? Oh right, it was the 4th. Not the 3rd, not the 5th.

I lit off fireworks anyway.

I will give out candy today (because all kids need to make a haul on HAULOWEEN!)and tomorrow, the real Halloween.
