Halloween in America is a serious holiday. We basically celebrate all October long with decorating our homes, watching all the scary movie marathons, carving jack-o-lanterns, and picking out our Halloween costume. It’s a big, big deal.

However, we’re probably the only country that treats it so seriously. Weirdly, it’s not as big of a holiday in other countries. And people who don’t live in America are actually a little confused about our relationship with all things spooky.

Enjoy these tweets from non-Americans, who can’t quite understand our obsession with Halloween.

1.  It’s Not Celebrated Everywhere

   We definitely did not know that.

2. Public Holiday?

   We wish. We should.

3.  It Gets Multiple Aisles

   This isn’t even the half of it.

4.  Over a Month of Celebrations

   It’s more like late August, but don’t tell him that.

5.  The Taste of Candy Corn

   It literally tastes like wax. But it sure is pretty!

6.  Eating Pumpkins

   Just grow them. And carve them. And turn them into a spice.

7.  All the Decorations

   Pretty much.

8.  Dressing Up

   Well, we leave them on for a bit, but essentially, yes.

9.  Stocking Up

   Come on over, there’s plenty!

10.  Hugging Pumpkins

    It’s aesthetically pleasing, okay?

11.  Where Do the Empty Pumpkins Go?

    We throw them away on November 1.

12.  Puns Are the Best

    Um, no, that’s not how it works.

13.  A Bowl of Sweets

    Yes, the answer is yes.
