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

no people are saying OP is wrong and that halloween is a holiday not that is a bigger deal culturally than Christmas

people in europe only really started celebrating halloween in living memory it is simply not a major holiday here. That doesn't mean it isn't a holiday though

Halloween was born in europe..... One generation falling out of the celebration doesnt erase it from the culture.

And no one said it was bigger than christmas?

Halloween was a very specifically Irish thing that got picked up the English and passed on to the Americans. It wasn't some pan-European celebration but some cultures had similar celebrations
