the USA Halloween seems like something that can potentially be fun, but I think in other countries it feels less .. natural. There was another holiday in place in this time of year in the UK, Guy Fawkes bonfire day. Halloween seems like an add-up or a replacement. It also feels so America, which might be great if you live in USA, but not as great if you don't, in this case it becomes just another reminder of the USA influence over the world.
I love the gifts on Valentine's day and Mother's day. LOVE THEM. But there is always a bit of a feeling of "I am selling up my principles for gifts" with both of these holidays for me, I don't feel "the spirit".
