Love it or hate it, Swiss people fucking love American culture.
All those kids are getting around me is a copy of Bilanz
When i see people against Halloween “because is foreign” I wonder if they just don’t like fun?
Did it though? I feel like they tried their hardest but failed. Some store even go straight to X-Mas stuff over halloween things and if they do something it’s pretty small.
Had a blast when I was a kid dressed up and to go around houses to get candy but now I rarely see anyone do it.
I sincerely think it’s just an excuse for the marketing team to make us buy something.
We already have the first of may to go around and ask for sweets and money against a song. Just having a dressed up child asking for sweets feels just too easy.
I’m not a monster, of course if children come at my door they will receive something. It feels just artificial.
Maybe I wasnt paying more attention 10 years ago, halloween was already around
Did it tho
Article is from last year. I first saw this invade Switzerland about 20 years ago, it died back (little to no constumes etc offered at Migros/Coop for many years), then the schools started having the kids dress up a few years ago, and now it is more mainstream.
EZ
Most of my neighbours would disagree. They think throwing fireworks at them is uncouth the fuckers.
Casually ignoring that the origins are in Ireland, not the USA.
It was a pagan holiday. It’s part of the reason why the 1st of November is a Catholic holiday. They adapted so many of their holidays to coincide with pagan holidays in order to spread catholicism in the world.
