Halloween (or All-Hallows-Even, as the Scottish variant that gave birth to the name goes) is not a big thing in Australia. However, as the world has grown smaller and smaller with the increase of faster and faster technology, customs that were once ignored here in the sunburnt land of Oz have started to creep into society. As a result, Halloween, this year, was noticeable more prominent than usual- stores had merchandise, parties were in abundance and tonight, on Hallows Eve itself, three kids showed up at my front door looking for candy.
However, Australian Halloween seems to be a lazier variant of the stereotypical American one, because these kids weren't dressed up at all. They just said "Trick or Treat" and expected food, to which I obliged.
I don't feel bad, but the kids could've dressed up, costumes are awesome.
