I think i can answer that one. AFAIK they don't .. nor do they do so in any of the other european countries (they definatly don't here) 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. - CeeJay
