Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls 
What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

I've always thought Halloween was a cool holiday but it's a completely hollow marketing exercise here, no actual tradition behind it all.
Might as well pretend it's the Day of the Dead or Obon
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
You egged/toilet papered those fuckers right?
What a dick move. Its kids having fun, why shit on that?
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
