...okay, I have a question. Is Halloween a mega-duper holiday or something over there, like, say, I think the only one we can relate to closely is Christmas? Not that that's any excuse for marketing merchandise, what, over two and a half months in advance (I don't think that happens so much over here; usually for Christmas and the Chinese New Year we get decor and merchandise maybe six weeks? in advance), I can't understand how they might not have noticed that people would be inevitably sick of the holiday by the time it finally does come around.
I ask because while Halloween is gaining popularity here with the increasing European and American population, we don't yet have to deal with maybe more than a week's worth of merchandise and marketing for the occasion.
