Halloween in the UK
I always thought it ironic (and of course, rather sad!) that they didn't really celebrate Halloween in the UK. I think of it as such a "Celtic" and pagan holiday, originating in Scotland and environs, that it seemed strange that it was only a popular holiday in America.

It is sad isn't it, especially with their centuries old cemeteries! My friend tried to throw a Halloween party over there and almost no one came. Those cinder toffee bars look intriguing!
