Ah I see Over here more and more people are celebrating or partying for Halloween but we don't as it was never an Australian thing over here . It's only become more popular more recently.

View Quoted Comment Yea I know its not as big in other countries but its big here and actually my favorite holiday.

View Quoted Comment

My favourite holiday is either my birthday or Christmas and no my birthday is not on any special day it's just my birthday LOL 😆

View Quoted Comment I enjoy Christmas alot but it just comes with so much stress and pressure. Christmas is also pushed here like crazy. Alot of stores had all their Christmas stuff out in September and it stays out til Christmas. Thats why I like Halloween its whatever you want it to be. Thanksgiving is also fun but I know you guys dont have that one, at least not like ours. Birthdays are enjoyable but I always end up working mine.

We don't have Thanksgiving here at all or anything like it actually . I agree they are putting the Christmas stuff out in the shops earlier and earlier every year. We have been trying to make it simpler in my family for a while so that we can have a good day and not too much pressure and stress Doesn't always work for the host though and we change hosts all the time

View Quoted Comment Yes it does I am a firm believer of no Christmas stuff up or out and no music until after Thanksgiving (about a month away). So far my parents have always hosted Christmas but that may change. We are starting to transition how we do Christmas with both my sisters married and me engaged. My middle sisters inlaws live in a different state so our current stage is that this year we do Thanksgiving together on Thanksgiving day and we will celebrate Christmas together on a different day because they will be out of state (this year family Christmas will be December 27th). Next year we will celebrate Thanksgiving on a different day than the actual holiday and family Christmas will be on Christmas day and just keep switching them every other year. I am very thankful that my FH family is laid back and kinda just let us tell them what day we are celebrating. As long as we get together they dont care.

Yeah that makes life a bit more tricky indeed. My husband comes from the other side of the country (think the distance of NY to LA). We are going to try and go there this year but it depends as some states won't let other states fly in to them because of COVID.

View Quoted Comment Yea COVID has changed alot of things. Luckily my sisters inlaws now live about 12 hours away. Beforehand they lived on the complete opposite side of the country (California) so about the same distance you are talking abour.

It's so hard having family so far away. We had to make decisions when we got married and we decided to get married in my home town and some family (extended not immediate) family didn't like it but you have to make these decisions for all the events .
