Kids in Sweden do get dressed up and go door-to-door >on Easter. Exactly which day varies between different parts of Sweden. >Some go on the Thursday and some on the Saturday. In Holland kids do that on the 11th of November (Saint Martin's day), they dress up and go doo to door carrying lanterns and singing songs to collect candy. >> I think it would be a better question if it was the other way around. >> Which countries celebrate Halloween ? >> I'm guessing all of the countries that celebrate christmas on the >> 25th december ( Most countries i know celebrate the 24th ) celebrate >> Halloween .. but thats just a guess. >In Sweden Christmas Eve (the 24'th) is the Big Day, when people exchange >presents and eat huge smoragsbords etc. In Holland we do celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December, but All Hallows Eve is not one of the days we celebrate. Not in the way people in the US celebrate it anyway. -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Draai je V3.0 al van de SETI@home client? http://home.hetnet.nl/~setiathomegroep/index.html voor tips, antwoorden, discussies. links, downloads en meer. 326wu/6166hrs Uh, yeah ...
