Someone mentioned Thanksgiving. I have to agree. Some guys here are making out that Aussies celebrating Halloween is akin to them celebrating the Colonisation of North America. Halloween isn't an American Special Day. Its an Irish Special Day that was imported to America by Irish immigrants and over commercialised in the last 40 years by Americans in the main. With so much Irish ancestry in Aussie blood why is it 'foreign' for aussies to celebrate it too.
At the risk of this veering into religious territory, I note that one poster mentioned berating the parents and telling them they should be ashamed at celebrating a 'Pagan' festival. Sounds like something an evangelical Christian would say. Ironic that Evangelical Christianity is an import to Australia from.....the good 'ol U.S of A
