I do not celebrate Halloween because Halloween is not an official celebration of any sort in the country I was born in.

I don't because were I live there are no street lights or pathways and most people don't answer their doors but my friend isn't allowed to do anything for Halloween as her family are Christians and halloween is about death and evil beings like the devil
I remember Halloween actually used to be a big thing back in the day I remember my older Brother going as a Vampire and I went as Harry Potter lol, but now I'm too lazy same with most people I think that and this mass hysteria that if you celebrate Halloween you're worshipping the devil.
I carve a pumpkin :colone: #Moooose
No its a pointless celebration it's mainly a American thing tbf

Which is kind of ironic given that the present from of Halloween is a bastardised version of a Celtic spiritual festival of the dead (of sorts) that the Christians hijacked around the 8th Century. Jack o' lanterns were originally made in order to repel evil spirits, so if they're actually serious about their beliefs regarding this then it seems strange that they don't do anything for Halloween considering that they've got a higher chance of the devil entering their house over Halloween compared to those who have Jack o' lanterns.
never did
never saw the appeal...

not really..

Personally I prefer to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night..and the two are so close together that havign two parties/family events is to much.. so its either, combine them, or just do fireworks night.

The only time I would do halloween is with my future children, as its still a pretty fun time for them.

Is everyone obliged to celebrate it or what? Some people don't even know what that is.

I'm not a kid anymore. I'm not into random "celebrations".

I mean be honest, you are not celebrating Halloween as much as using it as an excuse to do something.
