A to move Halloween to the last Saturday of October has more than 44,000 signatures.

Started three months ago on Change.org, the petition sa国际传媒 which says a holiday deserving of a full day shouldnsa国际传媒檛 be crammed into two rushed hours on a weekday evening sa国际传媒 is nearing its goal of 50,000 names.

From parents lamenting the chaos of getting home after work and getting kids ready, to teachers stressing out about the sugar-fuelled mayhem they endure the following day, all seem to agree that having Halloween on the weekend only had upsides.
