personally i dislike halloween almost as much as i do valentines day - they are both over-americanisation of a date in the calaendar in order to sell merchandise.....



unfortunately due to my work's internet policy i can't even see the vid!!

I'm with you O_O I hate halloween and blame it all on ET. Kids in the UK didn't do Halloween until after that movie came out.

I agree that many of the seasonal celebrations have been over commercialised and you can definitely blame this on the Americans and their propensity towards celebrating equating to spending.

However, most of these celebrations have a long history: Halloween is older than Christianity and is a celebration of the end of summer. As for St. Valentine’s Day: this is a Christian celebration that most people will know about.

The celebrations that I have problems with are such things as Father’s Day and Parent’s Day along with Grandparent’s Day all of which are commercial money-making events born from the Christian celebration of Mothering Sunday – a celebration that was as much to do with Mother Church and Mother Earth as it was to do with our mothers.
