Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls rage-cry

What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

      I just remember being a kid and my parents being baffled and borderline offended when I told them my school was holding a Halloween party

        That sounds like your parents were in tune with halloween just fine, america also has plenty of prudes complaining about people having fun in october too

          Yeah I remember trick or treating one year and a neighbor answered the door and just said "we don't celebrate Halloween" leaving me baffled and without any candy

            yeah that happened a lot with me and it happens more as you get older people really hate pre teens and teenagers trick or treating

            there was a strong feeling that the holiday is an americanism people only reluctantly get involved in

          I should stress that it wasn't some religious thing, they just thought celebrating American holidays was stupid nonsense
