Did anyone celebrate Halloween or Guy Fawkes/5th November?

We didn't get a single kid knock on our door this year for Halloween, I was mildy surprised...We got a few last year though!

We must have saved about 300 quid this year

Don't think it is a big thing here only a few kids wandering around last year.

I wore my witch's hat to work, but had to explain the significance to most people

Bordy

I thought you did that every day not just halloween.

Pollyana

No, it only comes out on special occasions now. O prefer to be an incognito witch, catches people off guard more

Ransi

Nowt going on here in Perth...I totally forgot about it until I read this thread.

When was mischievous night in the uk?
Used to go out and be naughty with my hollowed out swede or turnip when I was little ... which was a few years ago now.

We have just had a bonfire party (small fire) homemade treacle toffee and sparklers for all the children, it was excellent and a good time was had by all, non of the dreaded fireworks though.

When we were in Oz, Halloween was not celebrated, and Guy Fawkes (5 Nov) is a UK tradition not international - the only time we had fireworks in Aus was to celebrate the Queen's Birthday (Commonwealth B'day at that - around 10 June). However, the retailing of Fireworks was banned in Aus some years ago.

They may not retail them but put on some good shows, we have been to quite a few on the South Bank now that were very impressive.
