Happy Halloween!

The same is true of France. When we lived there in the 1990s the day passed unremarked, though Nov 1, Toussaint, was celebrated, typically with visiting ancestor's graves, as they do in Mexico, where it is a huge deal (Dia de Los Muertes). But going back to France in October in the 2000s I found most of the stores had American-style Halloween displays. i suppose it stimulates sales.
That is so true! In the last years to be promoted Halloween in the print-, audio- and video-media and i think only for big Business. The money must flow.
 
For me, Halloween has always been a time to have a party (these have got significantly sexier as I've got older), dress up and have fun. It's great because it's really the only time (outside of a cosplay convention - but we don't really have them here) where you can go around with whips and chains without worrying about peoples' reactions (not that I give much of a crap what other people think anyway, but you know what I mean).

What often spoils Halloween for many people is those hordes of unruly teenagers (and sometimes younger) who roam the streets committing acts of vandalism and minor criminal damage - they ruin it for everybody :(

Overall I love the trappings of Halloween - the goth imagery, the fancy dress (the sexier the better), the way people decorate their homes to look really spooky - all great fun. I'm not really keen on the whole trick or treat thing, as that's yet another stupid American import that is just intended to commercialise a good old-fashioned pagan festival and give kids diabetes in the process.

I must admit that I tend to go a bit over the top with buying costumes and props & accessories for Halloween - but I always buy them after the end of October when everything is half price or less and then pack them away for next year. Of course given my gothy sensibilities and taste for BDSM, this stuff doesn't only get used on Halloween :D

Tonight Cyndi and I will be having a private houseparty with a bunch of our closest family and friends cumming round. We've spent much of the weekend decorating the place in suitably spooky style using this sort of stuff, which I've had for years now;

A very quick and easy way to get the perfect look for a Halloween setting (or a sex dungeon, of course :p)
 
some about Halloweeen
Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of All Hallows' Evening),[5] also known as Allhalloween,[6] All Hallows' Eve,[7] or All Saints' Eve,[8] is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide,[9] the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.[10][11]

It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from Celtic harvest festivals which may have pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, and that this festival was Christianized as Halloween.[1][7][12][13][14][15] Some academics, however, support the view that Halloween began independently as a solely Christian holiday.[1][16][17][18][19]

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular,[20][21][22] although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration.[23][24][25] Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve,[26][27] a tradition reflected in the eating of certain foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes and soul cakes.[27][28][29]

In the US the only holiday that rakes in more money than Halloween is Christmas, so I'd say you 'guess' that it's a marketing thing is spot-on!!!
