A passionate note posted on an Australian homeowner’s front door has ignited heated discussions about the country’s stance on Halloween celebrations.
A photo that has recently gone viral shows the homeowner’s message to trick-or-treaters, which was clipped to the door with a peg, urging them to refrain from ringing the doorbell.
“This is Australia, not America,” the note declares at the outset.
“F*** off with your Halloween s***, you little c***s,” the note continues, sparking a wave of reactions in the comments, which are sharply divided over the homeowner’s explicit warning.
One commenter remarked, “Sounds like Aussies are just miserable and don’t like kids. Thank God I don’t live there.”
Another added humorously, “Time to send eggs and toilet paper to Australia from America with love.”
“Just all tricks and no treats down under,” someone else chimed in.

On a repost on a British page, one man quipped, “Halloween is 24/7 for the Aussies, with all the spiders crawling around there.”
However, not everyone shares that sentiment; one Australian chimed in to express her love for the holiday.
“Aussie here and I love Halloween. It’s becoming more popular, but some people just live in delulu land,” she commented.
One Australian clarified to the foreigners that the holiday isn’t truly despised in the country.
“Australians don’t hate Halloween. It’s just that it has become Americanized over the years through our television, rather than being seen as an Irish, English, or pagan tradition.
“And like anything that’s been Americanized in Australia, it feels so pervasive that it seems to be shoved down our throats, which is why there’s this reaction. It’s not an Australian tradition, nor was it part of our culture,” they argued.
Homeowners string up cobwebs and spiders, add gravestones to their lawns, and even put skeletons in their windows to mark the occasion
While the US is famous for fully embracing the holiday, Australia has been steadily getting into the Halloween spirit, with costumes and treats taking over shopping centers this October.
Many homes across the country have also gotten into the festive mood, adorning their spaces with fake spiders and proudly displaying pumpkins for everyone to see.
However, beyond the costumes and treats, Halloween has its roots in the Celtic farming festival of Samhain in Ireland, where it was believed that spirits could return from the dead.
To protect themselves from these wandering ghosts, people would dress in disguises.
