CrystalCyae Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Tonight (or maybe tomorrow night, depending on the time zone) is the fabled dream of many candy lovers. The night they can receive free candy from strangers. The night they can dress up like warriors to disguise their appearance. Discuss Halloween and what it means for you.

Jolta Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Being Asian can suck sometimes. No Halloween, just lanterns. Trick or treating isn't 'socially acceptable' due to the attitude of Singaporeans. But I always wanted to Trick or Treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hehe. Same thing goes for Australia. We don't generally do Halloween. It's more of an American thing, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Is America the only country where this is common? Hell, in here, I think I'm the only person from between people I know who actually acknowledges Halloween. Other says it conflicts with christian religion and s*** (WAT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I believe so. I don't do Halloween, personally. Mainly because my family only know our neighbors. No-one else. And no-one I know lives within 5 minutes. But I wish I could at least receive a free chocolate bar. That'd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure this holiday is a holiday worth respecting and celebrating and everyone has the right to have their own opinions about it as long as they don't go too far. And I still want candy.

CrystalCyae Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 It's a holiday? Since whe- *shot* Because of us Aussies not celebrating it, nobody gets anything out of it. Except those rare schools that get a day off today because of Cup weekend and stuff. On the note of religion, I don't really care too much either. Sometimes it's ok, and I just go along with it. But in cases like this, with some religions stopping the fun of others... I'm glad I don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 *Brohoof* Hell, I would go trick or treating, but my 1 friend who would go can't. Trick or treating alone when you're 18 is just creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 My apartment complex doesn't do trick-or-treat, but the neighborhood across the street does. It's lulzy, because on Halloween our complex is deader than a graveyard. We still buy candy though, but just for ourselves xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnmagicMushroom Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 yeah. my mom bought sweets for trick-or-treat freaks I don't know why she bothered since we didn't get any people coming around last year (we did the year before though). oh well...more sweets for me onmonom...

Sander Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 We don't have Halloween in Estonia, but we have 2 holidays similar do it. 1 being St. Martin's Day, and the second one I cannot tell, as I'm not capable of translating it to English. Maybe named St. Katarina's Day, I'm not too certain. But seriously, it's quite difficult to do Halloween when a lot of people live in apartments. This might be me exaggerating, but do you not see how freaking easy it would be to rob someone on Halloween? Especially when they live in apartments?

Makο Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ah, good times. Halloween was one of the most looked forward to events for me and my siblings. Not only for the candy, but for the bragging rights of who got the most and the trading of candy that we don't like for ones that we do. I'm not really into Trick or Treating anymore, though. I'll be working at my Churchs Fall Festival tonight for the Trunk or Treat, though. As a candy runner, I should be able to get some. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraveHorizon Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Halloween is for dressing up, acting like fools, and getting free candy. Even when you're 22. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv0ofWkiLdc[/media] People who choose not to celebrate Halloween for religious reasons are missing the point. I bet there are more that people celebrate Halloween non-religiously than there are that celebrate Christmas religiously (baseless claim). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
