It can also be a time for idiots throwing eggs at your house as a trick. Teenagers and younger adults causing trouble.

I think the Irish might celebrate it a lot more though given it's their event. It will give Joe Biden something to pretend he has a clue about Northern Ireland

Is it still called Samhain over there? To my knowledge, the adults over there have a lot of parties where they get drunk and have sex too.

Here we also have Dia de los Muertos, day of the Dead. It's a Mexican celebration of life and remembrance of those who have passed on. Even though not everyone out here is Mexican, almost everyone celebrates it. I go visit lots of altares that weekend, even though I'm Jewish.
