In Clinton, Halloween means Halloween. Translation: trick-or-treat will be held tomorrow night instead of on a night that isn't Halloween as so many other cities in this area saw fit to do. The city stated on its website:
Trick or Treating will be held on October 31. The City of Clinton is not responsible for rescheduling holiday observances. It is the discretion of a neighborhood and/or organization whether they will offer Trick or Treating on another day.
Good job, Mayor Fisher and Clinton.

In other words, don’t ask me to get involved with kids candy endeavors. We got bigger issues in government.
And yet trick or treaters are out tonight in Clinton.
Devils work on the sabbath
Since when is tricking and treating considered WORK?
Oh, my preacher, the ladies in the church kitchen, the church custodial staff, the organ repairman and the parking attendants ALL work on The Sabbath (please capitalize it). Also the restaurant where you eat on Sunday before you head to the carwash all have employees working. Is the devil in your britches then?
I'm still looking for your Bible verse, by the way. And don't bother extrapolating that it means 'not keeping it holy' means what you said. The devil works every day. All legitimate work is Holy.
Gene: What's Hawkins decided about Trick or Treat this year?
Handlers: I think sources said she's switching from last year, probably.
Gene: Whatever that means, we will go with the opposite.
Mary: Any word from the new and greater Ridgeland City Hall?
Handlers: No puff of smoke as of Friday morning. It's still on.
Mary: Keep on it. If a signal comes out of the tent, go the other way.
Gene: Does it really make any difference?
Handlers: Yes, but only at the level of confusion.
Gene: Good...that's the objective.
Mary: Is Gene holding for me on line twelve?
Handlers: No, that's Mayor Truly. Wants your rib recipe.
Mary: Who?
Parents and Children: To heck with all of 'em. We're doing it Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
To give credit where it is due, they are basically correct. No governmental body could do more than suggest a change, short of making trick-or-treating illegal on Sunday (and only in its jurisdiction). Confusion aside and even assuming such nonsense, enforcing such overreaching would be "problematic."
10PM. Sunday isn’t the Sabbath…That would be Saturday.
And the devil does real evil when kids knocking on doors for a fun sized piece of candy. Their parents end up eating most of it, thereby raising obesity and the chance of major health problems as a result of constant eating of processed overly salted and sugared food.
Y’all got trolled again boys and girls……
Seems like Ridgeland and Clinton are sticking to the calander and some kids will get two nights of candy.
Mr. Kingfish; I remain amazed at the BS levels of comments your posts always seem to generate. Mine included... JaxJam remains one of my favorite sites to study and use as an opportunity to learn more about the quirks and foibles of humanity.
The psychology and Sociology departments at Belhaven should offer a class that studies one or more of the comments sections that contain the responses to your posts
11:29 - Back up and tell us why Sociology is capitalized but psychology is not. Please tell me you don't write the incoming freshman handbook at Belhaven.

I am so sorry I never intended to capitalize either. Waste of money degrees for the promising millennial student child.
The anti-vaxxers do the devil's work 24/7.
KF has successfully dumbed down the mental level of this blog to between third and sixth grade reading level. Anything above that level is a serious challenge to the mental acumen of the average reader here.
Christmas Eve is on Friday this year.
Will there be a public debate between the mayors of Madison and Ridgeland to decide which night Santa will be allowed to dip down out of the clouds? Can we at least get Kim Wade to host and moderate? Can we have a camera-operator other than JJ's Kingfish? Will there be wine and cheese? Can JPD provide security for the event?

Well kudos to KF. It is wonderful that you are now able to participate. Welcome!
