I think I may have mentioned before that Halloween is not really a holiday that Australians as a whole embrace. Oh, you do see the random plastic pumpkin display at the local supermarkets, and on the day you might see a stream of partially costumed college-aged kids heading down to the local pub....but on the whole, its not common.
Its really an American holiday I'm told.
I never could understand this. Halloween is one of the best holidays out there! I mean, what's not to like? You get to dress however you want (without being mocked, for once in your life. I mean, one year I was one half of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, and I was cool. Now I'm not even cool in my regular clothes.) How often do you get to say that?
Oh, and did I forget to mention the candy? The candy! As a kid, there's nothing better than staying up late with a sugar rush. Oh man....the memories.
Anyway, I have FINALLY figured out why Australians don't need Halloween. And it is because of this:
"Fancy-dress" Christmas parties.
In other words, Australians love themselves a good THEME! 
Office Christmas Party 2009. Just might beat out Halloween every time.

PS - Bedraggled "fruit basket hat" for whoever can guess what we were!
