Is the word Halloween not acceptable anymore?

I'm out of the US this year, but definitely last year all the decorations said happy Halloween still, and store employees all said happy halloween.

is that not happening this year?

I haven’t noticed a difference (yet at least)

yea, I think it's just early, so we're getting a lot more spooky memes than Halloween specific memes.

I guess spoopy isn't a big thing anymore though. I feel like spoopy stuff started in September in recent years online.

not a great loss, to be clear.

At least here on lemmy it doesn’t seem to be.

I'm pretty sure Halloween is still fine.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be.

Happy Halloween!

maybe it's too early for everyone to be saying Happy Halloween right now?
