Why is Halloween so important to americans?

It's a reason to consume.

It's important to me because it's the time of the year of guaranteed Goth themed porn

Christ, can we move the minimum age to post here every year?

Why do all American traditions revolve around buying shit and showing it off

unironically, do Americans really care about easter? They make so many movies about halloween, christmas, thanksgiving etc. but none about easter. Here it's a really big thing and a common time of the year when big family gatherings occur

yeah but no one really likes it.

I like supernatural shit and october is when they show monster movies and such on the television

I guess because it's the holiday with the most SOUL but you're all too braindead to appreciate it. The whole idea of lent is totally against your national identity of unchecked consumption
What do evangelicals think of it?

Why would I care about Jesus' resurrection if I am not Christian

no, because it sucks.
When I was a kid my dad took us easter egg hunting a couple of times but most of the time it was going to the farm and being with extended family. For a backwoods redneck piece of shit I can see how smashing confetti eggs is a good hoot and a holler but for most people it sucks and is boring.

the germonkey recoils in horror at any trace of celtic culture or really anything that didn't originate from germanic squarefaced hun bastards

you must be over the age of 45 to post on Zig Forums

why care about Christmas then?
>American's defining experience of easter is through chocolate eggs

>celtic culture
There's nothing celtic about Halloween, it's pure globohomo capitalist american bullshit. The festival of the dead on the other hand is a celtic tradition.

>why care about Christmas then?
I don't. I actually hate it.

then your answer to my post is irrelevant. please stop replying

The rabbit and the eggs comes from Eōstre. Thats why its even a part of catholic celebration. All religion is bullshit and pretending your version of easter is any different from medieval harry potter day is just stupid.

>ask if americans care about easter
>I, an american, answer
You never said "Christian Americans". And this should answer your questions. American holidays are not about religious stuff because America is a secular nation.

kek

It was never called 'the festival of the dead' here and it wasn't a time to remember ancestors either

>noooooo it's pagan!
>make a big deal out of dressing up as monsters and witches for halloween
