I mean, it’s because Halloween is in 2 days. I’m sure there will be a video about Christmas as well. I think it’s a weird take to say “Yeah but you didn’t call out X, so obviously you’re okay with it”
Good thing she has a whole channel dedicated with dozens of videos all dedicated to it. I just posted the relevant one since it’s new, it’s Halloween, and I thought people who don’t like hyperconsumption would like it.
I feel like Christmas is already called out a lot, and rightfully so. (How the Grinch Stole Christmas, anyone?) Many other holidays too to a lesser extent, like Valentine’s Day and US Independence Day.
But then the same folks that call these out tend to give Halloween a free pass and some even hyperconsume for this holiday because it’s the rebellious one. I really appreciate this video because I have been saying the same thing, it just elicits eye rolls and being talked down to. (And that’s just when someone asks me about Halloween, not me saying something unsolicited.)
Can’t watch the full video yet… But happy it’s here.
Feels really disingenous to call out Halloween but not Christmas, which is already pushing Halloween merch out of stores.

I think it’s always a positive to call out hyper consumption, in any form, any day.
