I grew up a little bit both ...That's so cute!! I grew up a little bit both in the US and the UK. When I was little and living in the UK people weren't used to Halloween, it wasn't the culture here. <br /><br />One lady slammed the door in my brother's and my face, we were like maybe (him) 10 and (me) 4. Others just looked at us like WTF?? And another gave us nuts cause that was all he had even remotely appropriate. A couple were able to give candy and stuff, but my parents really only let us out cause we already had the custom and expectation since we'd lived in the States. I *love* halloween!!<br /><br />Things have really changed here. I'd say 30-40% get into the swing of things. A tiny 1% go all out like they do in the States with decorations, pumpkins, everything. (We're one of them). Others might just have the pumpkin to show they allow trick or treaters, some people turn off all their lights so people think they're not home and they don't answer their doorbells, but you can tell they're watching TV inside. <br /><br />Some people put up a paper sign on their front doors with a jack o lantern in a big red circle crossed out with the words "NO HALLOWEEN" or something printed on them. The first time I saw it I almost peed myself laughing. I really tried to take a picture of it, but then the woman started peeking through her curtains so I went away...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726993101830116588.post-65363172264016035892011-10-08T09:37:32.538-06:002011-10-08T09:37:32.538-06:00This would be great if I lived in a "real&quo...This would be great if I lived in a "real" neighborhood, lol.
