I was wondering why the Americans and the Finns will spend Halloween feast which is the British and their colonies celebration.

In Finland people are at home, flares lit and tv shows violent Halloween movies.

No idea what I'm doing. We go all out and scare kids. Every year, there's at least 5 kids who cry. Some even drop their Candy And run away.

That's what we call a successful Halloween.

Hell no. The 31. October is Reformation Day, where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the door of a church, in order to begin the reformatiion of the old church system.

In all honesty Halloween was never really celebrated much in the UK - Bonfire Night on the 5th of Nov being far more important - if you are ever in the UK Lewes Bonfire is probably the best to visit.
Unfortunately over the last decade or so major UK retailers have pushed the US style Halloween on the UK public as away of increasing sales and we are going sadly the same way with 'Black Friday' an event that up until a few years ago no one had ever heard of!
Personally I'm sticking with Bonfire night and the January sales ... but then I am a bit of a Luddite:crash:

The same in The Netherlands, Black Friday isn't pushed so far luckily, but the retailers try to push Halloween a bit since the last 5 years or so.
So far it is not really catching on. It's mostly just in Clubs or Bars that have a special theme evening. I have yet to see a kid trick or treating.

October through Thanksgiving is a big ass Fall Festival at my house. Get in the spirit or get the fuck out.

Halloween is when I get to dress up in my G-suit ,flight helmet ,knee boards oxygen mask and go to bars and consume copious amounts of alcohol. I have actually used the oxygen mask part of the costume as a beer funnel. I am going to wear F-22 Raptor squadron patches on the suit this year instead of F-18 Hornet driver insignia. I have quite a collection of authentic aviation memorabilia. The only drawback is when some drunk chick asks "are you supposed to be Tom Cruise?" No bitch, lick my choad.

This is a complex issue.

Halloween is a Anglo-Saxon celebration, the Anglo-Saxons are North-Germans, Dutch and Danish people, many of them went to England between 900 - 1000 A.D and they brought this celebration in your homeland.

Conclusion:

Halloween is not a traditional British celebration :lame:

Red is correct. The UK has always been about Bonfire night (Guy Fawkes night) on the 5th November. Growing up this was all that was celebrated around this time of year. Setting fire to things, blow things up and then eat a toffee apple - all normal things for a 5th November. Sadly UK supermarkets are trying to big Halloween up US style just to cash in on another so called celebration. I'll miss Bonfire night this year as I'll be in Milan, such a shame.

^^^ Light Catherine Wheel, place in small boy's hood, and run.

As for Halloween, you have to be a fan of a certain brand of rubbish entertainment to appreciate this, but this year I will have The Best Costume There Is, The Best Costume There Was, The Best Costume There Ever Will Be.

Raised is not the same as birthed.

Raised is not the same as birthed.

Every boy has just one mother and I think that a woman who breast fed me is mine.
