Christmas is a British tradition, irrespective if you're religious or not.
Halloween is an American tradition...but hey! if Halloween is for you - fill your boots. |
You might want to do some reading. I don't know where you grew up, but it was very much a tradition for us.
When did you dunk for apples or eat toffee apples? We're your family reclusive or something? |  |

Christmas is a tradition of Christianity. It is not British tradition.
I wouldn' t call Halloween an American tradition either. Some of my first memories as a very young child were biting into floating apples in a bowl at parties.
It may not have been a tradition for older generations but it's very much a tradition of mine. |  |

Halloween is for those of us with a little imagination, but not for dour run of the mill types like yourself. |
For people with imagination??? Its the exact opposite.
Its the most mainstream american bullsh*t celebrated in this country. |  | | |

What imagination? Everyone does the same thing. Dress up, make pumpkin lights and go around doors scrounging. |  | | |

I guess what is annoying people these days and confusing them into thinking it is an American holiday is the amount of plastic crap in the supermarket for the holiday. The quantity of that is a newer phenomenon, but commercialisation is just a fact of life these days. We choose the world to be this way and so this is what happens.
Hallow'een is a deep rooted British tradition though, as well as in other places. [Post edited 22 Oct 2014 20:52]

Born and bred in Wales mate.
When a barrel was what beer was kept in, apples were for eating, and I got toffee apples when the fair came ground.
Can't remember dressing up as Dracula and knocking on doors and saying "Trick or Treat" although I may take your advise, and read up on it, see if I missed something. |  |

Well Halloween is an old Celtic pagan tradition where they prayed to the gods for a good winter and they would see it through to the other side.this later got taken up by Christianity as All Hallows' Eve....
Halloween or Hallowe'en (/ËŒhæləˈwiËn, -oʊˈiËn, ËŒhÉ‘Ël-/; a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening"),[6] also known as Allhalloween,[7] All Hallows' Eve,[8] or All Saints' Eve,[9] is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It initiates the triduum of Allhallowtide,[10] the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.[11] Within Allhallowtide, the traditional focus of All Hallows' Eve revolves around the theme of using "humor and ridicule to confront the power of death."
According to many scholars, All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast initially influenced by Celtic harvest festivals,14] with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic Samhain.Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related "guising"), attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted house attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular,[19][20][21] although in other locations, these solemn customs are less pronounced in favour of a more commercialized and secularized celebration.Because many Western Christian denominations encourage, although no longer require, abstinence from meat on All Hallows' Eve, the tradition of eating certain vegetarian foods for this vigil day developed, including the consumption of apples, colcannon, cider, potato pancakes, and soul cakes. | |

I'm looking forward to it! For people of around my age (18-25), it's basically an excuse to go out, dress up, get drunk and laugh at people dressed in funny costumes!
Halloween comes from Christianity but as the world has become less religious in the western world it's not really observed for religous reasons as much. |  |

Never celebrated Halloween, never went trick or treating, never went out dressed like a tw*t as a student...all a load of childish bollocks.
Maybe I'm boring.  |  |

Halloween is a Pagan/Celtic festival, ripped off by the early church (like Christmas/Winter Solstice) to attract the woad painted locals. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

After a quick bit of googling it appears you are correct and I'm mistaken! Halloween was originally Celtic!
Wouldn't surprise me that the Christian chuch adopted/ripped it off though. | |

It`s not American bullshizer at all, your just jealous that they do things in a bigger and better way than us, and instead of slagging them off you should be thankful that they stepped in and saved us from the Germans in world war two. | | | |

There's loads of things that the early church ripped off to make the bullshit they were selling more palatable to the locals. The whole "holy trinity" thing pops up in quite a few religions for example. Zoroastrianism and Buddhism to name but two. | |

And you must be one of those ars*holes who can't leave people in peace.
My Dad was living on his own when he was in his nineties. He didn't know about trick or treat so he didn't have anything for them when they called. The little c*nts egged his house leaving him bewildered and upset. | | | |

Went out a couple of years ago on Halloween to town
Had agreed to pick the boys up on the way in and could not believe it when I saw 2 of them in fancy dress - late 20's ffs
Fair play though both pulled extremely fitter girls than they used to manage with no make up on |  |

When I was a kid, I thought that 'pumpkin' was what you called a swede after it had been hollowed out, cut, and candled.
I'm not sure about the posts on here about the Americanization. I was trick-or-treating over thirty years ago. The end of October marked the start of a good week.. Trick-or-treating and usually getting coins, then penny-for-the-guying, and ending with torching a pile of wood. |
we used to do apple bobbing, pancakes and trick or treating as well (although as a group of kids we only ever really visited all of our parents' houses and close neighbours anyway so didn't go far afield).
We always used to make a guy as well, and push it around in a wheelbarrow.
I don't think Halloween has necessarily become Americanised, it's more that it's become very commercialised (which I guess started in the US). Everything's become commercialised now though - it's the shops partly to blame - I hate seeing Christmas stuff in October (September in some cases) - by the time Christmas comes you get fed up of it.
Don't see Guy Fawkes done as much now though - obviously firework displays, but every street used to have a bonfire with the guy we kids had made put on top / small fireworks that would be done in the road (with the fathers constantly ignoring all safety advice and going back to see why the rocket hadn't gone off) - can't remember ever seeing kids with a guy any more. | | | |
