Really?
Where I live, they always start putting out things a couple months earlier.
I mean hell, it's still summer and then BAM. Halloween stuff.
Christmas stuff was put out CRAZY early last year too.
The day right after Halloween, I saw Christmas lights go up.
What the hell
x_x

I am aware of the origins of Halloween. And people would wear costumes to scare off roaming ghosts and then some pope deemed Nov. 1st saints day an blah blah blah. I'm not trying to debate halloween. I just find it strange to put up decorations months in advance XD

And what is wrong with making your own costume?

[Tohopekaliga]

I agree that people put decorations up for holidays way too soon.

Halloween is cool. :) I haven't really done much to celebrate the holiday in a while. Don't know anybody who does parties and what not, and I'm too old for trick-or-treat. Last year it was on a weekend, but the year before, I wore elf ears to work, just because. :P

It is kind of early to be bringing Halloween up.. and it's not really a holiday that is celebrated over here much anymore.. or at least, not compared to where I use to live at, I kind of missed celebrating it last year.. I had a brand new costume I was forced to leave in America cause I didn't have the space to pack it.

And please correct me if wrong, but isn't the Spanish Day of the Dead also Nov. 1st? I know they celebrate after we celebrate Halloween.

Hero.. the stores here are putting out their Christmas stock now.. <. < It's not even the end of August yet but than, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, we get Guy Fawkes instead where we get to set things on fire and watch them burn while you all stuff your faces with Turkey. XD

[Hero]

Oh my god.
That's so early ;~;
Did they start playing Christmas music yet?

Haha poor Thanksgiving. I feel like it's always skipped over
Burning things sound like a lot of fun
Take me to wherever you are~

[Tohopekaliga]

El Dia De Los Muertos is All Saints' Day, yeah...so November 1st.


(Why are we talking about Halloween in August? That is kinda odd...Oh well.)

[Trakadon]

No idea but here it is and here we are killing it for all those who are so excited to celebrate it o .o''

[Dawn]

Not yet.. XD but when they do, I'll not be shopping down town for awhile.

There's quite a few holidays not celebrated here.. There's no 4th of July or Memorial Day.. through I could celebrate them if I wanted to, the neighbors know I came from America so they will forgive me.

and yes, there's usually a huge bonfire down at the beach through some people hold smaller fires in their neighborhoods, there was two bonfires like a street away from where I stay. I only know about them cause I found someone had tried to burn a mattress and a desk in the park the next day. XD

Hahaha, I doubt my family would be amused if you appeared on their doorstep. But yea.. I think Guy Fawkes is celebrated all over the UK.. not sure about Ireland..

[NikkoGallarado]

I dress up in something that's normalish since I cosplay all year long, I go out and trick or treat still after that hang out with friends to get some drinks.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Trakadon]

@Chloe~ I wanna move in with you XD

Ah to get away from the crazies and find a bunch of new ones~ Though I might be stoned for not drinking ... XD

[Hero]

Seriously? A mattress? This sounds more and more epic

I promise to behave ;~;

[NikkoGallarado]

NAw most of my friends don't drink so it matters not really. We are pretty much cool with everyone.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Dawn]

ROFL.. you know how many times my American friends tell me that. XD I'm still waiting for the two who said they planned to come over here and visit me to visit.

And I highly doubt that will happen.. There's plenty of people that don't drink here. :3

-nods- I am sure you would, Hero. I don't think we know each other that well.. for anything serious to happen..

And yes.. it's tradition for the kids to go around and ask for people to give stuff they don't mind being burnt.. so things like old mattress, etc usually end up in the pile. XD or it use to be.

[Trakadon]

I don't wanna visit... I wanna live there XD

[littl3chocobo]

money is money XD americans just like to party and american businesses like to make cash

[Belial]

Not all of us like to party or behave like "jersey shore" but I am sure it can seem so from a different country.
I just like pumpkin flavored foods, coffee's witch hat teapots and the like.
