Stop pretending Halloween is a thing in Europe

Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls rage-cry

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.

    • I think you're going for an Ebenezer Scrooge reference. Scrooge McDuck is just an old Scottish billionaire that loves stealing indigenous artefacts adventures

      Also, I think Halloween is cool and that it certainly beats boring old All Saint's Day that we celebrate at around the same time. It's just that there is no organic tradition found to be in Finnish "Halloween" it's just something imported by cynical business interests to generate money. Just look up the Love Day skit from the Simpsons

      • Capitalists ruin every good holiday and everything. Make your own costume, grow your own pumpkin, carve it, make cider or caramel apples, watch a scary movie, be spooky. :)
