What is it with people trying to make the entirety of October into Halloween?

It's one single night, it's not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.

What's next, turning Easter into a month long extravaganza?

And what's next after that? People having traditions and celebrating things the way they want to for their enjoyment? -___-

The tradition to fill landfills with plastic skeletons

I would gladly decorate with a real skeleton as they're biodegradable non-petroleum products but my mom said I'm not allowed

did she say no skeletons or no HUMAN skeletons? there's always a loophole!

What is it with people trying to turn the entirety of October, November, and December into Christmas?

It's one single night, it's not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.

What's next, celebrating other holidays in the actual month that they fall in?
