You could still celebrate the holidy without acknowledging the commercial aspects, but you have to understand that America and England have "retail based" economies now. (sickening as that is) And rely on the sale of cheaply made Chinese Halloween decorations for survival, so you can't blame the corporations for advertising non-stop. Since our countries don't make anything anymore a bad holiday shopping season could be devasating to our economies.
Oh and buy domestic as often as possible and ifyou can't do that atleast buy from countries your country has good political relations with.
