Today I learned the south doesn't celebrate Mischief Night and I need to bring this tradition down here.

October 30th = Mischief Night

As a kid, we all looked forward to October 31st. Dressing up as a character, getting free candy. As a teenager, I looked forward to October 30th which is Mischief Night. I asked my friend if her teenage son was going out for Mischief Night and she looked at me like I had three heads. No one down here celebrates Mischief Night?

Today I learned this is mostly an East Coast tradition. New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut mostly celebrate this holiday where you're meant to prank your neighbors. Growing up in Maryland, this was a must as a teenager to participate. It's simple stuff like toilet papering a house, moving their outside furniture to another piece of their property, egging houses, or forking yards. Real jerk kids would smash your pumpkins if you left them out on Mischief Night (please note if my mother is reading this, I was never one of those jerk kids)

Devil's Night Celebrated in Michigan

I learned in Michigan, mainly Detroit, they celebrate Devil's Night before Halloween where people use it to set fires the night before Halloween. With how dry it is in Texas. Let's NOT bring this tradition down here.
