grump about this holiday, pol-ish 

Once again somewhat annoyed at capitalism and Americanocentrism making it that NZ mysteriously makes a big deal about Halloween.

It's spring.

I'm pretty sure Halloween was hardly a thing in the 90s. ... or I just didn't notice.

We really should be celebrating whatever the more appropriate pagan... celebration... would be.

re: grump about this holiday 

Does that mean Christmas should be celebrated at a different time of year too to coincide with the pagan winter celebrations?

yeah sure why not~
