What they don't do is go trick-or-treating. Instead they have fireworks and bonfires on the days leading up to November 5 (Guy Fawkes Day).Pamphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709191371678901051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27602223.post-46596256674053066932008-10-25T19:50:00.000-04:002008-10-25T19:50:00.000-04:00I would also attend that party if I could.

Do they celebrate Halloween there?

And the fact that you own a beaverskin top hat is phenomenally cool. <BR/><BR/>My best Halloween moment occurred when my gradschool boyfriend and I went as Edward Gorey characters with lots of dark eyeliner and neo-Victorian clothing.
