Counterpoint: I find Halloween decorations charming and quaint. Love seeing a bunch of skeletons playing crochet or other zany shit.
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
Uh, I'll have you know the weird family down the street from us had a long standing tradition of turning their garage into some gory horror tableau, or making a maze in the front yard where they'd run around in monster clothes.
I think decorating your house to look all spooky counts as a tradition. It's tacky at times but at least the decorations are fun and creative unlike fucking Christmas.
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
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
Your parents sound lame
I should stress that it wasn't some religious thing, they just thought celebrating American holidays was stupid nonsense
