IT’S THE LAST day of the long weekend and you’re not liking the thought of work. (Although if, like us, you’ve been working all weekend *highfive*)

Do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and distract yourself either way with a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

This week: Decorating the house for Halloween is a relatively new phenomenon in Ireland – although it’s definitely not as popular as dressing the place for Christmas.

So what do you think of it? Great fun or a load of imported aul’ nonsense?

D - Can't we all just get along? (682)

A - I put up Halloween decorations - I have children (438)
