Snowglobe of Doom posted:Samhain was the pagan harvest festival, Halloween is the Christian saints festival which replaced it. Halloween stole a lot of the seasonal trappings but it's not seasonal itself. lol i know about the origins of halloween, its just weird to think about it happening in the spring! its 40-60 Fahrenheit here right now and it just seems crazy to me to have halloween when its sunny and poo poo when its supposed to be like the fall harvest time.

soon all seasons will be redundant and we'll just have apocalyptic heat or boulder-sized hailstorms

The weather alternates between nice and hot. Sunny is almost always a given* * not valid in Melbourne or tropics for wet season.

People do occasionally celebrate it but it's definitely not huge like it is in the states. I was bedridden with food poisoning or something so I slept through the whole thing.

The aussie summer is brilliant, warm weather for 6 months, humidity, cold beers at the beach, arvo thunderstorms. Winter is fucken garbage where you spend two months indoors huddled around a heater wearing long trousers and a thick hoodie. Even on the good days where you can wear a tshirt and shorts it starts to get cold at 3 or 4pm. Just awful. Get in the fucken bin winter.

If you can't wear shorts and t-shirt all year round in Australia you need to harden the gently caress up.

There were a LOT of kids in my inner city neighbourhood wandering around in costumes, it's getting bigger every year. The supermarkets decided to buy into it and stock cheap plastic Halloween decorations a few years back and that's pretty much cemented it into the culture now, once the corporations realise they can make a buck out of it then it's here to stay There'll still be a few fun-haters screeching "It's too American!!! It's un-Australian!!! " every year but they just look more and more like dickheads as more and more kids end up loving it and looking forwards to it

Good. Should be a national holiday. Halloween is fun as hell, only sad sack jerks don't like halloween. If you don't dress up for halloween you deserve it when you're eaten by evil spirits.

Unless you're a first nations person who is actually suited to this blighted sunscape.

Outrail posted:Is First Nations the right way to refer to Aboriginals now? I haven't been home in years now but it was Traditional Owner back in early 2010s Not sure. First Nations seems to be a globally recognised term. Indigenous Australians is in common use, as is Traditional Owners, Custodians. My understanding is that Aborigine is now considered outdated.
