Tired of all this pumpkin and plastic skeleton crap everywhere. Thanks, marketing ghouls 
What, are we going to start celebrating the 4th of July next? Might as well with the NATO membership I guess

I file Halloween with Valentine’s Day under “Fake American holidays imported to sell tacky plastic crap”
That’s ok, you still celebrate the biggest, fakest and most tacky plastic holiday of them all; Christmas.
nah christmas rocks I get to see all my family and just enjoy the vibes and goodwill to all men
plus past a certain age christmas presents become books and socks (this is one of the main reasons to keep reading as an adult)
How is that any different from halloween? Just that your personal family dont bother to get together for it?
because halloween isn’t a holiday anyone celebrates with family gatherings, and the themes of goodwill to all men is a very explicit cultural aspect of christmas when it isn’t for halloween.
You don’t even get a day off for halloween because it was never a big deal culturally
I always thought it would be interesting to declare some random dates as paid holidays, and tell people to figure out their own traditions for them.
that’s just bank holidays and nothing happened the tradition is to take a long weekend
Thats, again, a personal you thing. Around me halloween is such a family thing that people without good family ties do a friends-giving style celebration to replace it.
And goodwill to all is a pretty common harvest celebration theme that halloween carries just as well as christmas, especially with how immensely cynical christmas has become.
I dont get a day off for most of my holidays, and christmas is included with that. Not sure why your bosses opinion on holidays matters tho.
