Yesterday was Dec 25… ah sorry, Oct 31. (I’ve been converting octal to decimal too much recently… yesterday wasn’t Christmas)
Anyway, yesterday when driving home I saw a group of little kids all in costume walking along the street with a couple adults trying to look after them. I thought “Party? But why walk along the street like that?”
It wasn’t until I mentioned it to a friend of mine today that I remembered that is was actually halloween (well, to tell the truth was told that it was halloween). And I thought, “That explains the kid in the supermarket asking his dad if he could go trick-or-treating…”
Personally I couldn’t care less about halloween, I’ve always been under the impression that in Australia we have no need for trying to scare away all the evil spirits with little kids. My friend on the other hand complains that we don’t do it here, saying that it is done in England, US, etc.
Anyway, I should have probably had more of a point when writing this post, except for saying that I don’t really see the point in halloween. It isn’t a holiday, so why go around annoying people? Fair enough running around town in costumes, but you can do that at any time of the year.
Oh well, other people think differently to me,but they’re allowed to.
