It depends on what part of the country you're talking about, where I grew up, in Gelderland (mid-east of our country), we didn't do anything about it, farther to the south some people have even never heard of it. In the northern part (especially Groningen AFAIK) it is far more customary, but in my days (I always celebrated it with relatives in Groningen) we didn't dress up. BTW if you have Micro$oft Encarta you can hear part of a St. Martin's song in the "sights and sounds" section of the Netherlands (not that you care ;). Oh, and one more thing, I think everyone knows that Halloween originated from the days that witches would knock on doors to eat people's children, but instead people started giving them gingerbread children. And that's the story of caramel cod....* Arjen *If you don't get the point now you probably never will
