Halloween is deeply rooted in the shortening days, the harvest, the spookiness of the transition, the otheworldliness.
In Australia it’s considered fine to go out during the day. It’s really centred on the lollies/candy/sweets. Don’t see carved turnips.
Like, I realise I don’t hold the cultural values of my fore area with regards to Halloween but what goes on here involves a lot of cheap tat and not much more.
I honestly don’t see any of Scottish Halloween here.
- justinclift 2y agoNo worries. :) > It’s really centred on the lollies/candy/sweets. Yeah, that's not at all surprising to me. My impression is that Halloween is something that was big enough in the US (even if not originating there), that companies are now trying to push it on us here in Australia now too. Purely to sell their crap. It gets the No vote from me for that reason. ;)
