I just Christmas'd my studio. I'm really not feeling it though...

Throw the Christmas decorations out and replace them by Halloween decorations if you guys have that in the UK.

[kurandoinu]

Yes, that we do. Its an excuse for kids to eat so much they throw up and adults to get pissed. :/

Okay. I asked because I know that they don't have that 'holiday' in Spain.

[kurandoinu]

Nah, we have it and it seems to get more Americanised each year.

Yum yum. Quorn wrap for dinner :3

[Borror0]

So, fireworks next year?

[kurandoinu]

Americans have fireworks for Halloween?

Speaking of fireworks, I'm making mock ups of bonfire night postcards right now to use for a uni project

Not that I know of, but explosions are very American. Figured that is the best way to out-Americanize the US.

How can something american become more americanised?

[kurandoinu]

Meh, we have a day to remember someone who tried to blow up the houses of Parliament.

@Kalidas- because its not native to the UK, and its now gotten blown way out of proportion. The mix of UK and US has shifted more towards US. If that makes any sense

Yeah, so the Americans made a graphic novel and movie based on that concept.

It's just a more every day thing i dont think that there's been any British influence on Haloween, it's just more 'mainstrean' (i hate that word -.-)

Yeah, but I guess it means supermarkets can have an isle that's used for holidays all year round heh. It's never really bothered me that much.

[kurandoinu]

Not really. Because what is there between Christmas and Easter and between Easter and Halloween?

[Kalidas]

Well not sure about between christmas and easter but between easter and haloween it's just summer stuff like BBQ's! I think I know to much about the layout and schedule of supermarkets . . . hmmm.
