Luckily I wasn't home at the time, so they received lollies instead of a lecture on cultural imperialism :-) If Australians did make a fuss out of Halloween I think it'd end up pretty dull - our most popularly produced pumpkin has skin that is a dull greenish grey. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Apparently, the local malls have been playing on people's fears of their neighbors, and sponser a "come down to the mall and get free advert^h^h^h^h^h^hcandy!" rally. So the community building that Halloween used to be is going away. Sigh. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
