Meh. Take your pick, it is all an orgy of consumerism (at least here in the States). Valentines Day, President’s Day, Veteran’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Christmas, 4th of July, St Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Halloween, etc. As of Labor Day all the stores had Christmas decorations out for sale. I pine for the good old days when Christmas decorations came out when no other Holidays would interrupt, let alone 3. Halloween is just the latest victim.
I totally thought this up independently of the Onion: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/in_the_know_has_halloween_become

I just watched that video from the Onion which I almost thought was serious until the very ending. Very funny though.
