Is it bad that I laughed at the irony of this segment from the OPs link?
"In the United States, many early American settlers came from England and they brought various beliefs about ghosts and witches with them. In the 1800s, many immigrants from Ireland and Scotland arrived in the United States and introduced their Halloween traditions."
Halloween was brought over to us from USA not too many years ago. It's really not part of the Scandinavian traditions! I wish we could swift the "old" time back. We don't need Halloween here as it in collision with our tradition to remember the dead people, when we decorate our grave yards with candles.
Well, I wish a Happy Halloween to all of you that think Halloween is important!
