In England, trick or treating does take place, particularly in working class neighbourhoods. On the whole, however, it is frowned upon as a menacing form of begging

We hates it, we does!

Well it's even worse when you live in an area where opening the door *always* feels like a risk!

But each to their own. Hoot!

The History Channel had a little thing about Halloween the other night... it wasnt bad either. It';s certainly nothing demonic as many of the churches in my area think.

No...it always seemed a way to honor the spirit world to me. I love that. I love this time of year.

I have been researching Dia de los Muertos too. So stay tuned.

Thanks for reading!

I think this time of year is very cool and spiritual really. Honoring the dead and all that. More to come! *hugs*
