Halloween is only one day

maybe that's true in Joe Biden's america, but that's not true here in MAGA country

Halloween haters are just mad that they got raisins and pencils when they went trick-or-treating, because their costumes sucked. Either get with the spooky spirit for 31 days, or get lost

People that don’t like Christmas are grinches and scrooges but what do we call people that don’t like Halloween?

All Souls' Day ...enjoyers.
They will tell you they have their own festival (3 days later), that is not celebrated actually, because one is obliged to be sad. Apparently, they don't understand that one can carve the Jacko, but still can go to the cemetery to light the candles. Those people are likely exclusive to certain parts of Europe that do not have the Celtic tradition (anymore).

That is true. All souls or saints day is literally the reason for the spooky season. All Hallowed Eve.

It’s important to remember that. I think I will do something special on that day for loved ones who passed on.

yeah and christmas is just a pagan holiday blah blah, doesn't matter, holidays are for enjoying Your Way(TM) and getting super technical about it is missing the point. all holidays are just an excuse to do some fun shit. post some skeleton memes. watch some scary movies with your friends. eat a bunch of candy and give yourself the beetus. life is what you make of it.

Not only that but it's a way to ritually mark the passage of time and the seasons.

Fall: earthy tones, lot of orange, ripening of harvest, trees changing, daylights a burnin' and getting colder - spooky season
Winter: cold and dead, bright decorations to herald the promise of the Sun/Son to come, followed by deeper darkness and introspection - thankful holiday followed by gifts and good cheer. Color and lights to offset the ever-darkening days. Then New Year celebrations and resolutions, unburdened by what has been.
Spring: Rebirth! Flowers, birds, colored eggs, bunnies everywhere, pastel color palettes - Easter and fertility time
Summer: Sucks and idc about it, it's my hibernation period anyway.

So Halloween only gets 1 day but Pride gets a month?

Be careful what you ask for of you'll get an entire month of costum...drag.

Shut your whore mouth, OP.

Assholes.

Biden will be going as someone with neurological impairment from advanced dementia and LARP as the head of one of the great pillars of modern democracy. You know, like he does every day.

Jack Chicks.

 

[Gravemind]

I agree, but americans seem to flock to it really hard.

I wish that was true.

To be fair, today’s trannies are not cosplay anymore. They are the real life examples of Lovecraftian horror done realistically.

October is my birth month and I love it. My due date was the 31st. I came a few days early. Drat.

 

[Sneeter Rabbit]

My cat, the cat in my pfp, gained eternity last Halloween. Now it is a holiday where all people commemorate and remember him, as well as taking time to appreciate black cats in general.

 

[Shart Attack]

I hate that I agree. Halloween is starting to get like Christmas in that there's just too much of it. I could swear that when I was a kid, you got about one week of the movie marathons, decorations, and such, one night of trick-or-treating, and then life went on. Then you had about a month break before the Christmas season started. Nowadays you see Halloween shit in stores in August, and every TV channel/streaming service is running Halloween marathons all month. Stuff doesn't feel as special when it lasts an entire month. It starts feeling less like a special little break from routine and more like this obligation that only brings joy to obnoxious adult children and corporations.

I love Halloween and many of the traditions surrounding it. I hate to see it in its current state.

From whatI've seen the last like 5 or 6 years, it's more halloweenstuff gets broughtout by augustand then by setember is already starting to be phasedout by christmas. They're already fucking playing christmas music and have the crhistmas displays up in stores by me. There's not even asmidgeon of actual halloween now save for a blip several months before hand and then the actual day itself (which is also slowly becoming less and less of itself)

 

[OrionBalls]

It's a holiday about pretending to be something else for a night, eating candy, and watching shitty horror movies. What's to dislike?

 

[Willie B. Hardigan]

I agree, but americans seem to flock to it really hard. Perhaps american consumerism prevents them from enjoying one-day national and religious holidays? However, who are we to try and ban a cultural tradition, even if we don't like it? A curious thing to ponder.

Those pesky consumeristic Muslims and their month-long Ramadans. Don't they know you're not allowed to celebrate beyond the government allotted timezones?

One must make a new "Soviet Eternal Calendar" so that the Ministry of Holidays may efficiently ration out the decadent idea of "leisure time" to the worker bees. Weekends, decorations, and pumpkin carvings do not benefit the state, only unceasing labor. Bah humbug!

i wasnt aware that buying shitty costumes, candy and decorations is an act of worship in america comparable to a month of prayer and fasting and that speculating that this may be a manifestation of consumerism is polpot tier wrongthink. i retract my previous post. in order to repent i'm going to go buy something from mcdonalds halloween menu for dinner and buy skeleton air force one shoes.
