Officially we don't even celebrate.. but some people do go trick or treating. It's not a big deal as it is in the US though..

In the UK, trick-or-treating is very common; certainly at least since I was a kid in the 90s. Possibly earlier. As for university students we'll usually have a halloween party as an excuse to dress up in silly costumes, get drunk and have a generally good time :)

Nightclubs in university towns take partciular advantage of the holiday to make special offers and hold halloween parties.

Where Im from mostly everyone participates in some way . You either go trick or treating, go to a party or are having a party. Or you can stay home and give candy out.

Or turn the lights off and tell ghost stories or watch movies!

It makes me sad to hear that teenagers have ruined Halloween in the UK. I have only been to London in Europe, and it was only for a week or so, but I was surprised at the disdain some teenagers had for society.

I watched a boy throw an empty cup of pop on the ground two feet from a garbage can. Where I live, that would be unthinkable.

I live on the tail-end of the dateline, so Halloween just ended for us here. We had about 50 kids come to our house, all in costume and no trouble-makers.

Yesterday marked the first time I had kids ring at my door at Halloween. I didn't expect it and had no candy available, so I just gave them 2€ each.

You Americans owe me money!:mad:
