As we approach October, your periodic reminder that Halloween is;

- Not "American culture imported into Australia", it's a celebration based on a range of different cultural traditions from various parts of the globe

- Not "satanic" or "the occult" and not offensive or eschewed by Christians, at least by ones who have sufficient intelligence to operate a spoon to eat soup

- An opportunity for kids to dress up if they enjoy that, which is universally a good thing

- An opportunity for adults to dress up if they enjoy that, or watch horror movies, or put a plastic skeleton on their lawn, or whatever the fuck the grown-ass adults want

- Free lollies, I mean... *gestures in despair*

- Broadly, a quite good thing 

 @0d291166 You wouldn't  say that if you'd  had raw eggs thrown at the brick wall of your house and you could still see where they were ten years later. #Halloween
