    That’s crazy to me. I don’t really like holidays but Halloween is such a fun vibe. It welcomes all types and can hit for any mood.

      The decor and spooky theming is fun to me, but all the candy and trick-or-treat stuff just flies over my head.

        That’s my point. You can take what you like and avoid the rest.

        That’s for the kids, and what kid wouldn’t want to go running around with friends while all dressed up to get free candy from everyone?

      Yeah, I for real don’t know how or why more countries aren’t celebrating Halloween. It’s like the funnest one. Like y’all rest of the world don’t wanna play dress up and party for a night?

      People from the U.S. think they are majority. While they are actually the minority. Halloween/Day of the Dead is celebrated almost every where.

    to be fair, it’s not just America, although it’s kinda just the uk as well, it is an irish/scottish holiday originally after all

      The holiday came about because that’s when the potato harvest is, and they needed schoolkids to work in the fields

      Halloween has always been a thing in the UK though, it’s just more for little kids

    Pretty sure we had Halloween before the US even existed.

    Admittedly we had to carve turnips.

    Some still do.

    I suppose we have pumpkins, too. At least this holiday is pretty fun, even if no one actually celebrates it here (there’s little chance it gets adoption here, where I live we even have a hard time getting into carnival, even though that holiday has native tradition).

    Anyway, late August christmas sweets are way better than any Halloween-themed food or drink.

      I’m confused if you mean America itself or pumpkin spice lattes, because, don’t worry, we’re exporting both.

        No, they mean deathtrap Americans. I think they’re like Irish Americans or African Americans but I’m not too sure where deathtrap is.
