Question for the Euros: when did Halloween start to be a thing? I had understood it to be mostly an American (and Mexican, though they celebrate it quite differently) holiday that was mostly ignored in Europe, yet I'm starting to see references to it in Euro-centric circles.
Not entirely relevant, but I didn't know where else to ask and didn't want to make a post.
Americans don't even celebrate it like Americans anymore. I think the last time I had or saw a trick-or-treater was 2009. After that started to fizzle out kids started "trick-or-treating" at malls, but now that those are all dead I have no idea how the hell kids get their candy now.

I live in the south and people still do it door-to-door like they've always done.
That's good to hear.
