Would you be in Favor of Standardizing Holidays to Certain Days of the Week?

Halloween is very much a holiday. The general population may not celebrate as it was originally intended, but it is certainly a holiday.

I dont know, I feel like somewhere either a state or a significant amount of companies or schools need to give their people the day off (paid if employees) before its considered a holiday.

There are a plenty of holidays that aren't given paid time off.

Holidays aren't just about work. It's just a day celebrating some event or happening. A day becomes a holiday when society accepts it's one, regardless of if a business gives PTO for it.

Oh, its definitely just my own view of Halloween. I lump it in with Mothers day, Fathers day, Valentine day and St. Patricks day, Groundhog day, April Fools day. Just my view of it, definitely not selling it as fact lol

Halloween is a religious holiday and when I lived in New Mexico we actually did get All Souls’ Day off from school.

You’re contradicting yourself then.

Halloween (Day of the Dead) is the start of the three day Holiday which culminates with All Souls Day.
