an annoying something
12 years ago
why is it that whilst we don't celebrate Halloween in Australia, the stores are still full of costumes and themed junk? I mean, I love the idea of it but I feel so sorry for the kids who are so excited about dressing up! If you havent been trick or treating in Australia, let me tell you it can be seriously unfun. haha
I took my brothers and sister trick or treating one year, they did their own costumes and were so excited. But every second house we visited told them to "fuck off you american cunts" and shit like that. I mean, come on. the kids were like, six to ten. Theyre just having fun, theyre not trying to force "their american ideals" down your throat. Just say "Im sorry, but I dont have anything to give you!", compliment their costumes and move on. Theres no need to call a seven year old a fuckwit.
Yeah we didnt have a very nice Halloween a couple of years back and people are gross
on a side note, uni is being stressfull and pokemon took up more of my time that it shouldve.

Its just become so popular because of retail. Its another occasion to make money off of and the original reason for why we do this every year has been lost Px
The US may be a bit more open to the different world-wide holidays mostly because we're a country made up of a bit of everything. I mean, I'm Swedish by blood and heritage and dont exactly celebrate thanksgiving, easter, or christmas on the 25th (we do it on the 24th).
But in other countries, people are just home and have the lights on and aren't aware of Halloween for a large part because it's not a native celebration.
So it's kind of annoying when strangers come to your door looking for a handout.
