No one is saying everyone has to hand out candy both nights, although I think having this confusion will disappoint many kids on both nights- not as many houses to go to for either night. I will plan on buying the regular amount of candy and splitting it between both nights. If I run out, I will just turn off my porch lights. I didn't have plans to be gone either night anyway.

lemonjenny, why is it so hard to believe that this isn't just an LDS issue? I have lived in the south and in small college towns in the midwest that switched the night for both religious ( baptist, lutheran) and non religious reasons. The difference was that it was made clear when it would be instead, unlike the confusion I am hearing in our area. I think not having a clear cut city-wide decision is devisive (sp?) and silly.
