Do they celebrate the same way us americans do, with little kids running around, and us handing out candy?

In England Halloween was nicknamed, Nutcracker Night or Snap Apple Night. Families would sit before a great fire in the hearth, roasting nuts and eating apples. They told stories and played holiday games. It was an evening of great fun and merriment.
The Tradition of begging for food soon was replaced with souling or Soul Caking. The idea was for children to go from door to door asking for money to give to the poor and a soul cake to have for themselves. Every cake they would receive, the children would say a prayer for the souls of the dead

every person who easily follows the Halacha could permit you recognize that's forbidden for a Jew to have exciting christmas in any form despite the fact that! The Torah is obtrusive, a Jew is forbidden from education the rituals & rites of another faith. the easy actuality that for some is an earthly opposition does now no longer adjust the actuality that it is the contest of a various faith and practiced as such by employing many. Orthodox Jews international extensive don't have exciting christmas and in some communities that's seen as an afternoon of morning as a consequence of its association with pogroms- although easter replaced into as quickly as a a techniques worse time for those. There are people who refrain from all Atorah study on christmas, gaining wisdom of secular matters instead with the intention to no longer have any Torah study better half with in recent times. Is it idolatry to have exciting it as an earthly day? Nope is it forbidden? definite

Yes, a lot of people in the UK do celebrate Halloween, but not on the same scale as in the US. Kids do trick or treat in the UK too.

Nowhere near to the extent that I think it goes off in America.
In this neck of the woods there are hardly any kids anyway. And in the closest town to me most of the kids are uncontrollable little drug addicted brats who will burn your house down if you don't give them a fix for the 31st.
I'd happily set the guard dogs on anybody who really wanted a trick or treat :o)
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Yep, I'm from England and we definately do. It's just not such a big deal as it is in the US I think. We do dress up though and have parties and stuff. Also we have 'trick-or-treat' where kids go round people's houses dressed up and demand chocolate. So yeah, guess it's the same really...

I'm not so sure about haloween,
but they celebrate Halloween, or at least a form of it, and not to the extent Americans do.

Yeah they do, but it's not as fun over there. In the town I used to live in, there were so many people who kept their doors locked and stuff, and if you knocked and they opened it, they either said, "I have no candy", or they said "I don't want to have anything to do with you", and shut the door.
