What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

Is there a Scrooge McDuck of Halloween? Because I think we found a prime candidate.

Broke: dressing up fancy for Halloween

Woke: Dressing up fancy all the time

Bespoke: Dressing up all the time in costumes you made yourself.

That said Allhallowtide has always been celebrated in Catholic countries, and Shakespeare mentions soul cakes in his plays. Obviously it's also a co-option of a standard Equinox Festival.

In America Halloween is a communal holiday that all people takes party in. In Europe Halloween is literally just marketing ghouls pushing shitty plastic decorations and overpriced candy on children. It is even displacing similar indigenous traditions that doesn't get amplified through the American cultural slop we consume thanks to Yankee cultural hegemony.

Also, who else got to "crossdress" for the first time on Halloween before they came out as trans?
