Halloween 2020 rescheduled to August 13-14, 2021

Last year's Halloween celebration, postponed due to untoward circumstances, has now been rescheduled for August 13 and 14, 2021.

Why?

Because Halloween is awesome and it sucked that we didn't get one last year and we deserve a make-up holiday.

Why those days?

Multiple reasons:

Everything should be opened up by then

If you haven't been vaccinated yet, you've got time

Halloween will fall on a Friday the 13th for extra spookiness, which we normally don't get

Halloween 2020 fell on a Saturday, which is the best time for Halloween parties, so it's only fair that we get a make-up Halloween on a Saturday

No other holidays in August anyway

It's summer, so you can wear a skimpy, slutty costume without freezing your ass off

Leaves time for holding make-up Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's before the next Halloween in October

But why two days?

Because Halloween is awesome and we deserve it. With two days, you can have one Halloween for trick-or-treating with kids and another one for adult fun Halloween times. Or, if you don't have kids, you can have an adult fun times Halloween house party on Friday and an adult fun times Halloween bar crawl on Saturday.

What about normal Halloween?

We will still have our regularly scheduled 2021 Halloween on October 31st. This special double make-up Halloween will have no effect on the normal holiday schedule.

But then there will be another Halloween just two and a half months later. Won't people be tired of it, coming so soon after the last one?

No. Because Halloween is awesome and we deserve it.

But--

No buts. It is decided. We're holding last year's Halloween on August 13 and 14 this year. Because Halloween is awesome and we deserve it.

guys its a wonderful life was literally such an anticapitalist masterpiece that the FBI claimed it was communist propaganda and under investigation they found the movie “deliberately maligned the upper class, attempting to show the people who had money were mean and despicable characters.“ 

[assiraphales]

in one scene the main character george bailey is vouching for someone trying to buy a house outside the slums & the antagonist mr potter is like “u need to stop filling their heads with impossible ideas, the working class needs to be thrifty” (all while hoarding an insane amount of wealth) and george slams him w this 

he really said the rich view the working class as cattle and that bitch was right!!!!! say It louder!!!!!

I have to add one thing, because my family realized something about this movie for the first time this year.  The scene where Mr. Gower’s is grieving the death of his son and accidentally makes poison medicine likely takes place around 1918 or 1919.  That means Mr. Gower’s son died during the Spanish flu pandemic in America.   And during that sequence, young George goes to see his dad at work, to ask for advice about the poison medicine; he watches a meeting in which Mr. Potter the greedy banker is trying to convince George’s dad to foreclose on more homes.  Mr. Bailey won’t do it, because a lot of people are out of work at the time.  They’re unemployed because of the Spanish Flu.  This movie hit very differently in 2020.
