NJ governor reschedules Halloween (can you do that?!)

It’s official, Jersey girls: Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey has signed an executive order postponing Halloween—and trick-or-treating—to Monday, Nov. 5.  With much of the Garden State still underwater or digging out from piles of tree limbs, leaves and debris, Christie’s number-one goal in signing the order was to keep kids who planned to hit the streets (and the parents who’d be setting out with them) safe.

While we’re pleased the postponement will no doubt save lives tonight, we’ve gotta admit, we’re a teensy bit skeptical. There’s just something thoroughly odd about dressing up in costume and going door to door on any day other than Oct. 31. Poor Halloween—first a snow storm, now a monster hurricane? Jack-o-lanterns just can’t catch a break!

(But seriously though—stay safe, no matter what your plans are this evening, and Happy Halloween, hunnies!)

What do you think? Does rescheduling Halloween make it less legit, or is this idea perfect, given the circumstances? Tell us in the comments!

I think this idea is good if it will help save lives, but I am still a little bit doubtful about it. Rescheduling Halloween makes it less legit.

I live in Jersey, I can't even go down a block because roads are closed off with fallen trees and power lines. I think that this is ok, but would much rather be trick or treating or at a Halloween party right now.

it was such a tragedy what happened and how much damage there was. the whole point of halloween is dressing up and getting candy..duh! yes its not actual halloween and does uliminate the halloween fun a bit but i think its great that they still get to have fun. it wouldnt be fair to have no halloween!

I think this is a good idea. New Jersey kids should still get to trick-or-treat, but safety comes first.
