![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} What is this halloween thing? -- Comment()
It seems that even here in Finland they are trying to sell all kinds of stuff under the label "halloween". There is no such tradition here in Finland, but the marketers would like to generate such a phenomenon. I wonder when children start going from door to door. We have such a tradition before Easter, when little girls (and nowadays boys) go around doing a similar kind of thing. Perhaps that will help us to resist halloween, twice a year would be excessive, don't you think? But marketing people are clever, so it may be that some day Finland will surrender to halloween. (Like we did with Valentine's day.)
