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 .

@emmasfriend The French dont need much of an excuse for a public holiday .
