When I was a kid growing up in the 70s in New York, we used to trick or treat on both All Hallows' Eve and Halloween night - different neighborhoods, of course. To this day, I've never met anyone outside of my hometown who trick or treated the night before Halloween. Now we live in rural Maine and they do Trunk or Treat, where adults bring their cars to a big parking lot and line them up, like you would see in a car show, and decorate the trunk spaces of the cars. The kids go from car to car trick or treating. I understand it's because of being so rural, but still...there's nothing like going house to house!

You are in a position to do Halloween better than Americans. At least I hope so. You don't poison the treats or put razor blades in them. It's warm and cozy Halloween in your part of the world, like when I was growing up here.
