According to ABC 13, several Cities and counties have changed the date officially odserved because it fell on Sunday. It has been my personal experience that most christians do not mind Halloween and the only concern is with how some people may chose to celebrate it. One blogger who says he is in the Bible belt reports three seperate celebrations.

“Nowadays my kids get at least three shots at trick-or-treating -- Fall Festival at church on Wednesday night, "trunk or treat" at my wife's work on Friday night, and neighborhood trick-or-treating on Saturday. It's fun to remind them that when I was a kid, I only had one shot at it in our small town neighborhood.”

“The condemnation follows criticism from Catholic bishops who this week urged parents not to let their children dress up as ghosts and goblins.”
