Has the UK caught with the US in ‘ celebrating Halloween ?

When visiting America in the mid 90s , ( a suburb of Washington DC ) i was surprised what a big thing Halloween was compared to England .

The houses where’ decorated with great care and style ( the opposite to Chinese tat seen in the UK now)

Alll Hallows day was very low key here 30 years ago . Now we have imported the tradition of Trick or Treat and it has become a commercially exploited occasion .

The Christian church disproves , but as we have become a much more secular society , not much notice is taken .

What is more traditionally done in the UK for Halloween.

In Canada trick or treating of school age children has been normal all my life. Costume parties and gathering in homes and public with and without costumes. Traditionally a lot of sugar is consumed. That’s been standard all my life.
