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 鈥� which says a holiday deserving of a full day shouldn鈥檛 be crammed into two rushed hours on a weekday evening 鈥� 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.

鈥淚 am signing because I am an elementary school teacher. Halloween is massively disruptive to learning when it falls on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Saturday is the perfect day,鈥� wrote one supporter.

Safety was also a theme that ran through the comments.
