Halloween also came to Germany only some years ago. When I was a kid we went out for treats on Saint Nicholas day. It was usually combined with saying a poem or singing a song. So it kind of irritates me that today's kids are going out for treats on Halloween as well now.
I don't like the commercial thing about holidays either. Forcing people to spend their money because someone says you have to because it's a holiday... there are other ways to make a holiday special.
