There should be a make-up Halloween for those on the East Coast

I know people who like Halloween more than Thanksgiving and Christmas combined.

sitting home all day, I'm eating the candy my wife bought for the trick-or-treaters.

Okay, what kind of candy?

It's a variety pack with Nestle Crunch, Butterfingers, Baby Ruth and Laffy Taffy. The Nestle Crunch were the first to go. Next was the Baby Ruth. Butterfingers and Laffy Taffy suck so that's all that the Trick-or-Treaters will be getting.

Trick or treating at the Red Cross shelder should be interesting. Hate it for the little kids.

Apparently in some parts of the US they celebrate Halloween on the weekend before or after. I have a friend who moved here to Washington from Wisconsin just over a year ago and she was shocked that we actually trick or treat on Halloween whether it's a school night or not.

Some parts of NJ trick or treat right after they get home from school. My wife was shocked that trick or treating doesn't start until dusk down here in south Jersey.

We went to Sam's Club today to buy water and batteries. Picked up an extra bag of candy. The bottom of the trick or treat candy bowl is last year's left over candy.

Wow. Look at this.

New Jersey sets new date for Halloween after Sandy

For New Jersey, trick-or-treating will have to wait until Monday.

With the state just beginning to dig out from Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed an executive order Wednesday postponing Halloween celebrations due to unsafe conditions.

“I’ve taken this action to minimize additional risks to lives and the public safety as we begin the process of rebuilding and recovering from Hurricane Sandy,” said Governor Christie in a statement.

The state was probably the worst hit by the storm, with flooding, fallen trees, downed power lines and power outages across the state.

“As governor, it is my responsibility to use all available resources of the state government to protect against the emergency created by Hurricane Sandy," Christie added. "Postponing Halloween celebrations by five days is a commonsense and necessary step to accomplish that.”

New Jersey hasn’t been the only area to put Halloween on hold. On Tuesday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg postponed the annual Halloween parade through Greenwich Village.

“For the first time in our 39 year history, the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management and the NYPD have cancelled the parade,” the Village Halloween Parade website said. A new date was not announced.

Many local governments in the tri-state area are also advising against trick-or-treating tonight.

Halloween delayed but NY Marothon will go on.
