Aparently Halloween has taken off here in Galicia (Spain) in the last few years - it has all been commercialised. Its a bit sad really becuase I can see over time that they might lose there tradition of Samain (similar to Halloween but more about Witches!), and become more about trick or treating etc.
We had some people come trick or treating last night and I had no candy for them, and dont speak Spanish well, so I just shrugged my shoulders. Felt a bit like the grinch of Halloween
That is a real shame .. traditions like Samhain are important. Consumerism is just god awful culture destruction.
