No trick or treating though, since it's not an actual tradition that everyone is in on.

Valentine's day is the same thing. It's been during the last 10 years that I've really started noticing Valentine's day items in stores, people posting about it on Facebook, etc.

I'm old fashioned and don't consider either a legit thing here in Denmark.
I don't care about pumpkins or ghosts or anything and I watch horror movies year round (you should watch more of them too). Halloween is about dressing up, getting candy, and justifying getting wasted.
