Forum 9: To Halloween or not to Halloween?


TV channels for children have been boasting about Halloween for almost two weeks, and people like my mother-in-law, with zero knowledge on Anglo-Saxon culture, get keen on filling children with Halloween products. In this context, and being myself very critical towards cultural/commercial colonization, I had to face the following dilemma: my 5-year-old daughter came to me and asked me to celebrate Halloween. What would you have done in my situation? And, why? I’d really like to hear your opinion.
