Having said that, well I didn't, Wiki did, can't remember doing it in the UK as a child, though we did get up to some fun and games! Can we blame ET?
I remember watching the dancing round the maypole as a teenager wondering how many of girls knew what they were dancing around. Then there were the Morris Dancers - no wonder we are all a little strange in the UK.

Didn't really stop us doing it though, such a bad and wayward child that I was. Carol singing was also a good ruse for extracting pennies from old folks to buy cheap cider and fags.

Get over yourselves. We did apple bobbing, Jack o Lanterns and the like for All Hallows Eve. Mum then told a banshee ghosty story which used to scare me shiteless
