A couple years ago had a kid knock on the door trick or treating,I gave him a sermon about this being australia and maybe we should come up with our own ideas.The next morning I found his trick,a banana shoved under the door handle of the xe.I did have a little chuckle.

Halloween may have originated outside of the USA. However the version which is currently being celebrated (and forced down our throats) is the American commercialised version. Therefore most people will classify Halloween as an American tradition. As it is an American tradtion that is where it should stay - IN AMERICA!
