Halloween is an American tradition that I wished had more influence here.
Where I grew up as a kid had a huge American pupulation so Halloween was a really big deal, with hundreds of costumed kids and adults flocking the streets at night and mountains of candy to be had.
I was also lucky enough to spend Halloween in the states one year and witness the insanity there. I remember going into a bank that had been decorated to look like a crypt and all the tellers were vampires, it was amazing.
I want that here, so I am so totally behind this idea.
