sometimes I see Christmas decorations in November!!!
i saw stores putting a Christmas section, then taking it down for Halloween, then putting the Christmas section back.
Christmas must respect the Halloween borders!
Halloween? When I was a kid it started after Thanksgiving! We wore onions on our belts which was the style at the time...
Although I didn't wear the onion belt I did read the documentary on Onion John?
I was there when the attack began on Thanksgiving!
I'm so grateful that we don't celebrate Halloween or Thanksgiving here, because that means that stores actually start selling Christmas cookies in September. I was finally able to refill my strategic Spekulatius reserve this week.
i get the hate for American Halloween spreading around the world.
i lived in Scotland for a while and that was a common sentiment, except from actually Scottish people because most Halloween traditions are Scottish, and now they get the English trying to stop them.
that's a traditional Scottish jack-o'-lantern
I have no hate for Halloween. We have a similar tradition here in northern Germany called Rummelpott (rumble pot): At new years eve, the kids dress up, go from house to house making noise with their rumbling pot and singing a song asking for treats.
That custom does slowly fall out of fashion and gets replaced by Halloween, but I think the decline of Rummelpott started before and independently of the rise of Halloween, so no reason for hate.
The only thing I really dislike is the aggressiveness of Trick-or-treat. With Rummelpott it was great if you got a chocolate, but if someone couldn't give or didn't want to, it was fine as well. But on Halloween you're kind of extorted to give something. Some older kids have even committed malicious property damage with their "trick" part in the past, but I feel like that's gotten slightly better since the news started reporting the criminal charges some of these teens were facing.
I'm Scotland, my neighbour accidentally created our own tradition.
practically all the street goes together on a single group, adults and children alike, was so much fun. we never arranged it so, but we ended up doing that one day then it kept on growing.
I pulled into a Dollar General store yesterday (September 2nd) and they had a bin of Christmas wrapping paper for sale on the sidewalk in front of the store.
It looked faded (like it was leftover in a warehouse from last year), and I think it was with the discounted summer close out stuff, but still.
